Trying that config now (except with only 64 megs swap on a 16-meg
system).

It very well could be the problem. I haven't been following NCSA
httpd's progress too closely, but I just downloaded 1.4.1 last night
(been using 1.4). Even with the above options, the machine/VM pager
still chokes up and dies. However, if I substitute the Apache 0.65
server (standard forking model) for NCSA httpd, the problem goes away.
I'll try NCSA in standard forking mode next to see if that is the
problem. Unfortunately, I no longer have any pre-2.0.5 machines
around for an additional comparison. :-/
