Well, running a small problem in Mathematica (cellular automaton
thing for a small number of cells), my swapfile(s) just ate up
the last few megabytes of disk (about 15) and I had to
halt the machine and reboot.  Why on earth would MMA need 
enough swap space to get to 85Mb on a CA program?  Doesnt
any of the swap space get reused?
