|P.S. Not to offend, are you sure ``-current'' is for you?

Hmm, I suppose I should have wrapped swapinfo's around the
compile, where it would be obvious that no swapping to 192MB
of dedicated swap was happening, on a 96MB machine.  Of course,
if I had configured vn as you suggest, then I would have
nearly certainly wedged the system, *had* I swapped anything
out to the vn device.  The vn device is not stable
with current right now.  Coincidentally, I spent most
of May experimenting with vn...

I don't want to offend either, but are you sure -current
is for you?

However, the -pipe idea is a good one, I'll try that when
I get back to that system.

BTW, I can coax a somewhat similar situation out of netscape-4.05
native FreeBSD when using the news reader and surfing.
If I try to open a new window it claims it is out of memory
and that I should try closing others, but do so has no
effect.  Again, no swapping is occurring.

Thanks,
Russell
