What appears to happen is that on the first swap read, the machine just reboots. No panics, no faults, nothing. The wierd part is that if I single step through that swap read, it works fine. Apart from that, it always seems to be using synchronous i/o. Is that intended? Performance for NFS swapping will be horrible... -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd.
