>Description:

	mi@rtfm:pk/pcscreen/public (1088) pstat -s
	Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
	/dev/sd0s1b     32768     9572    23068    29%    Interleaved
	/dev/sd1s1b     65536     9420    55988    14%    Interleaved

	/dev/sd8s1b     32767     9232    23407    28%    Interleaved
	/dev/sd7b       32768      128    32512     0%    Interleaved
	/dev/sd8b       32767      212    32427     1%    Interleaved
	Total          228607    37692   190915    16%

	There is no sd7b or sd8b -- they are sd7s1b and sd8s1b respectively.
	Yet, swapon allowed me to add one after another, and they seem to
	now be used for paging! Without ``swapon -u'' I can not even
	stop this non-sence without reboot, which is what I'm going to
	do as soon as I finish typing this. I think, the machine can panic
	any time now...

>How-To-Repeat:

	See description

>Fix:
	
	Watch those partitions...
