(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?
