Once in a while, I ran into a problem while running some Unix
commands on my SUN station {like who, df...}. The command aborts with
the following error message:

sorry, pid xxxx was killed due to swap problems in xalloc: no swap space
for text

This is on a SUN 3/160 with 8MB of physical memory and and 17MB of swap
I did notice some background jobs running (about 6 of them that are 
running uucico and sendbatch).

Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
