- I've seen this on kernel rebuilds, and large compiles (for example, remaking
- libc.a from scratch).

- I'm running a 40 Mhz 486 with 16 Meg. So far, I've theorized that this
- problem is caused (somehow) by the fact that I've only got 5 MB available
- for swap/page; since I'm moving onto a new disk real soon now, I've just
- lived with it until I can partition a 16M swap area on the new disk.
-
- Mr. Jolitz: Is this theory at least plausible?
