- You Bet!! One of the quickest ways to lock up a system is to get low on
- swap space. (The other is to try to use SVGA as your working
- environment) There seems to be some granularity that keeps the out of
- swap space warning message from working consistently. I've currently
- set the warning threshold to 2M with 8M available but the system will still get into trouble trying to start two win-os2 sessions.
