I have 192M of swap, in two 96M partitions.  I have 64M of memory.  That
ought to be hoards and hoards more than I need.

I posted separately about what I found with the panic problem, at least
as much as I could without being able to get the dump.  It's not all
that useful, without all the context from teh dump itself.  I wanted
this to concentrate on getting me the dump, not analysis of something I
can't get yet.  I'm greedily waiting on advice on how to force the dump.
