Jim,
Thanks!  Enabling NFS swap made a dramatic difference (no lockups),
although it hasn't eliminated the crashes entirely.  

One of my Jammin 125 clients was practically unusable, it would lock up
and/or crash so often.  With 128m NFS swap enabled, I was able to start
it up and happily run more than a dozen programs without a lockup.  So,
thinking that maybe 128m was more than enough, I reduced it to 64m.  The
next user came along and had an X-server crash after about 5 minutes
while playing a game.  

After that crash, I changed the swap back to 128m.  The user's X session
lasted about 30 minutes (playing a game) and then it crashed again.  
And again, after about 10 minutes of additional gameplay (tuxmath).  

Is 128m overkill?  Is it enough?  Is there anything else I can do to
stop these crashes?

The other Jammin clients crash much more rarely than this one.  Could
there be a hardware problem?

Jeff
