  There is a patch available via anonymous ftp for this problem.  You
can get it from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (128.123.35.151).  The directory is
/pub/os2/2.0/patches, and you should grab 00fixes.doc, which is a list
of the available patches, and os2krn.zoo, which should fix your
swapfile problem.

  IBM has also set up an anonymous ftp site on software.watson.ibm.com
(129.34.139.5) which has the latest fixes as well as some
employee-written OS/2 software.
