Subjectvfork: out of memory, when there's plenty of swap free
Hi!

I've been running some rather evil tests.

Recipe:
32Meg RAM
128Meg swap
2.2.3 kernel

run make -j and watch. Peak swap usage gets to 50Meg or so, then it
starts dying with vfork: out of memory. [Can someone reproduce these,
please?]

Does it mean we have problems with memory fragmentation? Do this
problems need to be solved in 2.2 series?
