hello
maybe i'm a little ignorant, but my innd lately vanishes very often
our of the blue (i.e. not during expire) telling me
Nov 5 07:52:15 news innd: ME cant remalloc 8392960 bytes Cannot allocate memory
i recently upgraded the machine to 128MB RAM (yes, i have the
'options "MAXMEM=131072"' in the kernel) and 300MB swap,
which should be enough!
for the life of me i can't see why it should fall short of memory.
here's some data:

before the upgrade swap was always used to some degree,
i am a little suspicious to see 0% here all the time,...
