Thanks to all who responsed.  I've "partially" solved the problem by
assigning myself to a logging class.  However the swap space is still
not used.  I guess I haven't strain the system enough.  (Hey, don't
blame me, the FreeBSD box I was using had only 32M.)

What about Netscape 4?  Everytime I execute netscape4, the X windows
will exit without saying anything.  Does it has to do with how the
distributed program got compiled?  

Thanks,

Nanbor

p.s.  BTW, thank you all for the great job.  I really enjoy using
FreeBSD.
