Hi,

	After upgrading to NS3.0 I found another file named  
"swapfile.front" in the same directory as swapfile. The filesize shows  
284MB in the WP Inspector. (I only have a 406 MB disk) and the size of  
swapfile remains at 16MB even after playing a while on my 16MB memory NSC. 

	What is the file for? Why does it take 284MB which does not even  
exist?
