I received several replies to my question in comp.unix.wizards
about the "not enough core" message.  All pointed out that my
swap partition is probably too small for the amount of work
being done.

One reply mentioned the "swap" entry in fstab, and sure enough,
we don't have such an entry.

The Question:  is the :sw: entry in fstab truly needed, or is
the swap info compiled into the kernel?
