Subject[APOLOGY] Re: Cooking 2.1.131, even beter receipe
Hi!

SHORT STORY:

Apology for making fuss about mem=8M. It was pilot error.

LONG STORY:

Due to patches for swapping over network, I had brain-dead settings of
freepages - I got freepages.min value > freepages.low (not really, but
you got the idea). Machine did really crazy things after that. First I
suspected hardware (because processes like ssh and emacs seem to crash
on signal 11 when there's not enough memory), then I started
suspecting kernel.

PS: Unix was not designed to prevent you from doing stupid things...
