I can reproduce the problem very easily -- just start 'make -j64 buildworld'.
With 32M RAM and 128M swap it will 'suggest more swap' in half an hour, and
then I sometimes have the situation when cron/sendmail/etc fail to work.
They just fork and childs die, despite the fact that memory shortage has
already gone and makeworld has finished some 10 hours ago!

It happened last time about a week ago (with CURRENT that time old).
As no changes seem to be made to VM since then, I assume that today's
CURRENT is not better. :((

Quite ordinary hardware, working perfect in all situations (except
mentioned memory shortage).

I assume that majordomo@freebsd.org is unsubscribing a man when
the sendmail on his box fails in described above way, and majordomo
gets too many bounces (?)
