When my disk suddenly started showing that almost no space
was left, I checked /private/vm and found the following:

---
total 72120
-rw------t  1 root     29188096 Nov  3 07:00 swapfile
-rw------t  1 root     44638208 Nov  3 07:00 swapfile.front
---

Ok, what is the difference between swapfile and swapfile.front
and why do I have both of them?   And why do I now need
70Mb of swap space?   I cant find mention of swapfile.front in 
/etc/swaptab, or in the librarian.  I didnt make swapfile.front
(I dont think).
