Aug 11 03:56:34 danux /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space
Aug 11 04:02:34 danux /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
Aug 11 04:02:34 danux /kernel: pid 278 (XFree86), uid 0, was killed: out
of swap space

i was actually looking at the screen and then everything stopped (mouse
etc). i could not switch to console, but a ctrl+alt+del rebooted fine.

one thing that could be taking a lot of memory was a program called
"xwatch" (/usr/ports/sysutils/xwatch) reading a log file (with a lot of
activity from a software i'm developing) and xwatch might not be
limiting its buffer... ? i don't know, wouldnt the kernel kill xwatch
instead of xfree86?

i appreciate any info on this. thanks.
