heh...what's really fun is when the NeXT gets SOOO frozen that you can't
  break out either by hitting the power key or <cmd>-<cmd>-~. Then you
  get to use the reset switch...you yank the cord out of the wall.

I like the reset switches on my DECs and MACs. They're much nicer than
  having to cut off the power to the machine. But, hey, the NeXTs don't
  seem to mind too much. And some of ours have been around since 0.9 with
  only 2 reformats of their hard disks.

Another possible solution for the expanding swapfile we haven't tried yet
  is to set an upper bound for its growth. Why haven't we tried this? Because
  it makes the machine just as unusable as when the swapfile grows until it
  fills up the disk.
