Hm, don't know about aterm and its memory management, but that's for sure: _swappiness_ should have absolutely nothing to do with this. The swap management isn't up to userspace applications, that's kernel's matter. Well, there might be some small probability left that your swap management is somewhat hosed due to bugs in the kernel but that is very unlikely and wouldn't explain why these conditions only occur with aterm and only affect aterm. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
