[ts-7000] fork failed error using apt-get

["sanjuan34" <>]

I'm getting an error when trying to install ntp using apt-get on a TS-7350 
system. I've used apt-get successfully in the past. I wouldn't think ntp would 
be a particularly large package for the system to deal with?

dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/ntp_1%3a4.2.2.p4+dfsg-2etch4_arm.deb (--unpack):
 fork failed: Cannot allocate memory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/ntp_1%3a4.2.2.p4+dfsg-2etch4_arm.deb
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Before running apt-get 'watch free' reports this:

Around the time it decides it's out of memory it's looking like this, so maybe 
it is simply is running out of memory?:
