Your clients have more than 800 MB RAM, so they don't automatically get 
a swap unless you specifically set NBD_SWAP=True in lts.conf.

Note that even if you set a swap, by default it's just 512 MB, so it 
won't save you if you think that your 8 GB of RAM isn't enough and that 
the problem is indeed lack of free memory...
...which I doubt. I'd suggest you look elsewhere for fixing the crashes, 
e.g. Xorg/graphics drivers or kernel issues.
