You're clearly using some of that swap space for something, so it would be great if you could narrow it down a bit more. For instance, does the problem only occur if you shut the system down after having run particular applications? Are there ever any disk errors? I'll poke around and see if I can find anything by inspection. phk's rotitilling of the swap subsystem introduced a number of new nits, but no serious bugs that I can see... > Kernels from Aug 8 and below never do that, I see this panic constantly > only with most recent kernels (last 2 days).

The bug was probably introduced earlier, either by me, Alan, or phk, but the swapoff codepath wasn't routinely exercised until recently.
