:I have upgraded this morning from 4.4-stable to 4.5-prerelease (cvsup at
:08:15 GMT).
:
:Everything was OK, until I get into a problem very similar to PR
:kern/30164:
:
:Dec 27 23:20:42 graf /kernel: sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 284)
:Dec 27 23:23:48 graf /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space
:Dec 27 23:23:48 graf /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
:Dec 27 23:23:56 graf /kernel: pid 297 (XFree86), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
:
:I was not running anything unusual (XFree4 + kde 2.2.2 with konqueror +
:3 rxvt + one make fetch + mutt + one gcc for a middle-sized program),
:and before 4.5-prerelease I had never met such a problem.

:For info:
:#>pstat -s (after reboot!)
That's a fairly heavy-weight combination. Probably one of the
programs went on an infinite memory-allocation loop or something
like that.
One solution is to set a datasize limit in your .xinitrc or .xsession
(whichever one you use to start up KDE), for example set a 128m limit,
so the runaway program doesn't take the rest of the system down
with it.
