We're running Ultrix 1.2 on a VAX 11/785.  We have 10Mb of memory,
and are swapping on partition "b", (33440 sectors), of two ra81
drives, (2 * 33440 * 512 = 34Mb).  During peak times of the day,
we run out of swap space.  Can someone give me some pointers on
how to analyze this, and find out who's causing the problem?  Are
there some guidelines that I could be using to determine how much
swap space I should have on the system?    Thanks in advance.
