Synopsis: The swapper is ineffective

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: phk
State-Changed-When: Fri May 8 13:45:05 PDT 1998
State-Changed-Why: 
Doing what you suggest would prevent the swapper from acting as
last defense against low-mem conditions.  I belive the future of
the swapper is generally uncertain with a tendency to "kill it!"
being mumbled.  (Look for NO_SWAPPING in the -current vmcode).
