With 8MB system, got the dreaded lockup with swapon patch applied. did
mkswap on 10072 (10MB partition) got 10309632 bytes message back. could
not do swapon /dev/hd2 as get "Error adding /dev/hd2 as swap" Swapon,
unknown error 99 from perror.
When ran yahtzee on 8MB system, with 1 vc running vi on ~300 byte file
dreaded system lock-up "Out of swap-memory" "Out of memory" child 5 died
with code 000b
At least this time fsck -vs /dev/hd3 (root) was okay. Of course playing
games (using binary from tar file) didn't expect to be out of memory and
need to swap.
