His swap space is just under 2GB (swap -l reports 512-byte block counts) so 
that rule is not being violated.  There doesn't appear to be any 
discrepency in the df/swap/top numbers in Patais' message.  The df output 
is usually meaningless, that's not really "swap" but rather a sum of 
available anonymous memory in the system.  The swap -l numbers are accurate 
and indicate 2GB of swap and 13.9MB used.  top indicates 2GB of swap and 
14MB used: 2048 - 14 = 2034 swap free.
