My logs are filled up with the above messages, when i use Gimp to
manipulate large pictures. The machine is swapping a lot as i don't have
enough memory for those big pictures and i had about 40 megs of swap used when
this happened. Gimp is using shared memory a lot.

This is reproductable with 2.0.8. (I tried it on 2 machines)
Didn't tried it with other versions but i will do if needed.

also when my swap was full gimp died, and left about 40 megs of swap. I don't
have any programs running now but that 40 mesg is still here. is that normal?
