I have seen this problem on my notebook with 128 MB RAM even with
the final test6. I ran out of memory three times, at one try kswapd
turned into zombie somewhen. And it seemed to me the system tried
to swap out anything after a while of normal work although enough
FREE memory was available. And the shared memory display in top
and ps was constantly 0. This bug went away with test7-pre1 for me,
it seems, although I'm not quite sure why, since there seem to be
no fixes for such a problem. Maybe I just haven't triggered that
yet...
