John Dyson added this warning a few months ago, and the times that I've seen it are when the machine *just* starts hitting swap space, and is no-where near running out. No offense to John, but I don't think that whatever algorythm he uses in generating that message is anywhere near to being right, and I wonder what peoples opinions about either hiding it behind bootverbose or removing it are?
