I don't know Xen very much. From the vServers I'm running under
Virtuozzo I'm used to getting a log entry when the virtual instance
tries to allocate more memory than it is being allowed to. I'd assume
Xen gives you something similar.

I don't think the "free" command offers much insight here since it
does not document the situation when you try to run the message.php
script.

But from your report I'd guess that it is really related to your
vServer having not enough memory available. 

Cheers,

Gunnar
