#]this messages doesn't mean bug, merely indicate allocation failure.
#]if any other bad thind doen't happend, you can ignore it.

Swapping like mad without any obvious cause (500M swap in use, 1.5G RAM
- - which is normally not such a big problem). This however stopped when
I closed some memory-intensive applications (firefox, vmware).

Since then the machine is running without problems.

Thanks for the info,
Andreas
