I torture tested my system the immediate reboot afterwards--ran 12 virtual
consoles, 6-7 lynx'es (with the nsl-fork), BitchX running 3 times, micq, and a
mod which I [was using my modified version of mikmod that supports memory
locking] had set to lock all its current and future memory (or'ed the two
options together)
This is 8MB RAM, btw... used about 1.3 times the RAM in swap
After 20 minutes of thrashing, the system stabilized. Further operations
invoked the swapdisk, but no more VM problems so far.
