    hi,

    i thought i add a report to the new VM in 2.4.0pre9

    My Machine has 256 MB of memory
    I left it for two hours ( several Netscapes -Instances,
    Mail and xmms running _nothing in swap_ )

    When I tried to restart my work after 2 hours,
    the machine started swapping madly. I couldn't
    run the Netscapes Instances anymore without
    2 -3 second silences in xmms. I waited for
    5 minutes in the hope when i activate all
    Netscapes again it would stabilize slowly,
    but it didn't. After killing all Netscapes,
    the Machine silenced. I am
    now typing this on the again _stable_
    machine.

    I believe this is a tuning issue, so
    i do not complain :)

    Regards
    Dietmar
