watch "cat /proc/meminfo" just showed me the progress
mutt  was creating a very large tmp file in /tmp/ until  "memfree" reached a
watermark then failed with a message like " no space in /tmp"

sounds like I can't use mutt if my mutt mail file is close to the
physical memory
I have when tmp-on-tmpfs is enabled..

hmm....make sens? maybe we can't use tmp-on-tmpfs feature in f18
