Hehe...I have no RAM problems.  192MB+650MB of Swap, and I've been able to
fail it completely on an unloaded system.  Furthermore, it *used* to work
so I don't think that suddenly "I don't have enough swap".  I don't even
have enough running to crash up against login.conf, the evil I usually
blame everything on.  (Have I said login.conf was a huge step backward? 
It was.  :-) 

I went through last night and rebuilt the world, then rebuilt the kernel. 
For good measure I rebuit xemacs today.  AND...it's still broken here.  Am
I alone in this?  I guess I wouldn't be totally surprised to find out
something was screwed with my system.  The damage seems to be limited to
xemacs.  

To recap, I can get xemacs to hang generally in a matter of minutes.  I
open a couple of files -- typically in a couple of different modes, I use
LaTeX and IDL a lot.  Then suddenly it goes to sleep, no longer redraws
itself, hangs itself hard.  Not sure why.

Must go, vi calls,


Brian
