I have had a similar problem with mathematica filling up the
swap disk. I also had to power cycle the machine to get it
back up. When the machine came back up, I found that my
dock parameters (preferences) had been wiped! It seems that this
was all the damage that was done, yet, there must be
something poorly designed in the interaction between mathematica and
the NeXT Step memory manager which allows mathematica to grab sections of
the hard disk which are already in use, for the purpose of virtual
memory allocation.
