Ouch. Could this be the cause of lockups that seem to appear only under X? Once in a while, in X, when the swap is being hit hard and CPU usage is high, I get a total system lockup, all I can do is reset the machine. This is on a dual P5. I can never reproduce this when not in X. Unfortunately I never get anything in the syslog related to the lockup. The lockups themselves persist through 2.1.6*-2.1.89
