Subject:   Swap problem on 3.1-RELEASE

We have a system running 3.1-RELEASE with fwtk as a gateway for e-mail and 
other services.  Within the last couple of months, this machine has begun 
crashing regularly with out of swap messages.  The system begins with very 
little swap usage, which grows very slowly until there is a sudden jump.

We've tried using 'ps' to track down what processes might be hanging, but no 
processes show as being swapped at all.  In addition, I've watched they system 
run under brief unusual loads (downloading spooled mail from our secondary 
mail server) without using any swap at all.

Any ideas what might be using up this swap space or strategies in tracking it 
down?
