Running AMaViSd-new 2.6.3 (it was 2.6.1 until today--upgrading to 2.6.3
did not fix the issue), FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE, perl 5.8.8.
Yesterday, my machine up and started having these issues (copied latest
crash):
(The getswapspace error repeats oh.. 6703 times total. I am cutting 6702
of them to save space:)
Jul 1 20:51:01 caduceus kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(12): failed
(It always ends with this line (varying PIDs of course:)
Jul 1 20:51:01 caduceus kernel: pid 36486 (perl), uid 2020, was killed:
out of swap space
Now... I have a machine with 4G of RAM, and 12G of swap space.
(output of freecolor:)

Here's the output of top when it gets ready to crash:

I don't understand why would this suddenly start happening, after
*years* of running AMaViSd-new. When the daemon crashes and respawns,
the machine is taken almost to the point of unusability.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there any kind of workaround? :-/ I'm
supposed to be leaving for a road trip in the AM and I guess the
Critical Circuit<tm> decided to trip. ;-)
Thanks in advance, everyone...
