I have had this problem on several machines to. But not only
against the swap device. I have 1 machine with a SCSI disk as
root disk /dev/sda1, the swap device is /dev/sda2.
Then there is a 4 disk ide raid0 (software raid) mounted
on /mnt and if i run it there i have the same problem.
This machine is a SMP machine, tho is has also happend
on UP machines.

Hope it helps.
