I have fixed up the swapping code in 4.4 -- 1.1.5 swapping code still might have some problems. If your trouble persists, I can give you a single line patch to perhaps fix it. If you want -- all you have to do is to comment out the line that calls swapout_threads in vm_pageout.c -- see if it helps... John dyson@implode.root.com
