Swap space not used

Hello.
I am running Debian 6.
When I installed it, I had a swap partition of about 40GB set up, as is shown by gparted.
But, for some strnge reason, Debian 6will not use the swap space, even though gparted shows it to be "Active".
Instead of Debian 6 using the swap[ partition, it just runs out of memory, progressively, requiring rebooting every few days.
Why is this so?
Thank you in anticipation.
