Hello,

I've got a freshly installed amd64 (dual core opteron) system running the latest snapshot (bsd.mp kernel). I have 1GB of ram and a 1GB swap partition. The machine has next to nothing on it at this point, not even X. The only packages I have installed are postfix, fetchmail and procmail (all from the latest openbsd snapshot). After letting the system sit for about 24 hours I sat down on the console to find a dozen or so "out of swap" errors like this:

UVM: pid 23358 (sshd), uid 0 killed: out of swap
UVM: pid 11042 (newsyslog), uid 0 killed: out of swap
etc...

I had an ssh session already open into the box so I was able to execute "top". Top showed very little memory usage (about 10MB) and no swap usage. I've searched the net and usenet for similar issues but the only posters I see having such problems are people trying to run extremely minimal systems like 16MB of ram and no swap partition. Any ideas on how I could be "out of swap" when I seemingly wasn't using hardly any RAM and no swap?

Thanks,
Jeff
