Subject:   3.0-CURRENT kernel anomaly with X
Message-ID:  <33DA8E28.E16EA8BA@mci2000.com>

I've upgraded my kernel to -current recently, and seeing these weird things
during X is running.  (The symptom goes worse if Netscape 4.01b6[en] for Linux
2.0 is running.)

o Many instances of of shell scripts die screaming "out of swap space."  That's
  seen on the console like this:

Jul 25 00:01:34 x /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space
Jul 25 00:01:37 x /kernel: pid 2553 (bash), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space

o Compilation of program fails occasionally with apparently absurd errors -- I
  can't catch any errors in the source code -- when a simple retry succeeds.
o Outputs of compiled code varies from time to time.  (I noticed it building my
  kernel -- I usually builds the kernel twice and compares object files to each
  other, except for vers.o.)
o The 1st characters of items on my TWM menu are garbled.  (For instance, "File
  Runner" sometimes looks "Nile Runner", etc.  :-&)

Does any of these ring a bell?  TIA.
