As I said, swapinfo still shows zero swap being used. It's a Big Deal (TM) to bring this system down, and I believe maxdsiz cannot be tuned on the fly with sysctl ... are you suggesting that either make or cc just gets out of hand and makes a process too big for themselves ? If so, is it possible to tell make or cc to behave ahead of time, and leave maxdsiz alone ?
