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.

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...
