My instant thought on this is:
Although you have 96 Mb of ram, how much swap space do you have?
You have got a fair amount of silicon based memory, but you often need a
*LOT* of memory (and CPU power (spot another thread)) to compile stuff
(which is where the swap space comes in).

Just my first thoughts.
