options NO_SWAPPING, still wants swap

I compiled a kernel with "options NO_SWAPPING", yet CURRENT still
attempts to allocate swap space:
Apr 10 22:29:33 pakastelohi kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed

As a result, everything from make to cp to httpd (on a server with no load
other than random search engine visits) sometimes fails. The machine has
1GB of RAM, all seen by FreeBSD. Since I ran the same processes on a
machine with 128MB of RAM and 256MB of swap without ever running out of
memory, something seems broken with FreeBSD's use of memory when options
NO_SWAPPING is chosen.

Thanks,
