>Description:
well i got a kernel message saying something like 'cannot free memory: PID#whatever(mpg123)' and the machine kept swapping around, 
the machine is equipped with 128mb of RAM and when i did a top it returned the following:

Mem: 308K Active, 16K Inact, 23M Wired, 2388K Cache, 8314K Buf, 1292K Free
Swap: 128M Total, 32M Used, 95M Free, 25% Inuse, 380K In, 540K Out

after reboot we were back to normal:

real memory  = 134217728 (131072K bytes)
avail memory = 127381504 (124396K bytes)

Mem: 17M Active, 28M Inact, 20M Wired, 8300K Buf, 58M Free
Swap: 128M Total, 128M Free

i was running mpg123 with the following options:

mpg123 --reopen -yqz -b 2048 --aggressive /media/mp3/* & 
Version 0.59r (1999/Jun/15)




>How-To-Repeat:
dunno how to repeat it since it never happened before, perhaps this should be an x-file :)
