First off, I would try the 2.0.33 kernel. There have been a number of
improvements in the swap and vm management code in 2.0.3x and your systems
sounds like it is stressing those exact parts pretty heavy. Besides, it's
hard to debug a problem in older kernel versions if we don't know if it
repeats in the current kernel version.

If you have more than 128MB then when you run mkswap on the partition it
simply truncates the swap partition header to show a length of 128MB. No
problem here.
