My machine hangs, and when I check it the console screen is filled with the message, "swap-pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 26650, size: 4096" and at that point the only thing I can do is a hard reboot -- it's not reacting to input at all. My /etc/make.conf in its entirety is # added by use.perl 2006-01-18 08:04:37 PERL_VER=5.8.7 PERL_VERSION=5.8.7 I was surprised to find there is no /etc/defaults/make.conf any more -- that may have something to do with it. I haven't been paying very close attention until now. -- Roger
