And in my case, I don't see how I could've been running out of swap space -
I've got a total of around 260MB allocated (as reported by swapinfo) and there
was nobody logged into the system and it's a pretty minimal load system. And
the programs I was running (nmh commands, mutt, ps, etc) had no problems.  Ah
well...maybe next time I'll remember to check that before rebooting.
