Sounds nasty! Can't say I've experienced (or at least noticed) this, but I don't use the GPS very often.

Are you sure about the non-swappable part? It doesn't seem to lock any pages here:

Did you notice anything interesting in its smaps file?

Anyway, since DSME restarts it when killed, maybe setting an appropriate ulimit in the init script and letting the kernel look after it could work?
