I'll grant that a 16GB swap sounds pretty pointless, but what are you getting out of that 8GB? At this time, a program that expands to fill all that space seems either really esoteric (processing huge scientific datasets?) or just badly designed. And if you are running something that really uses all that much memory, you should make sure you have enough swap space for a worst-case scenario.

Well, there's also the slight problem that you run into the operating system limit of 2 GB for swap files. If you make a bigger swap file, it just won't use the rest.

Here's a repost from my thread in HOTS (that noone answered :( ):

It appears that you have two versions of glibc installed at the same time. Try apt-get -f --nodeps install <whatever>
