I think I can reproduce it at will now. Dosemu will indeed cause this
to happen here.
I can start a bunch of XEmacs processes, no problem. Swap is being
used and no message. Once I start xdos (Dosemu in X) the message
appears.
Or I can start xdos and then the XEmacs bunch and when xdos starts to
get swapped out the message will appear.
Or I can just start a lot of xdos processes and the message will
appear.
My conclusion is that Dosemu swapped out gives this message.
And the message appears A LOT. I have a couple of thousand
VM:... messages in my log now, after having tested and provoked it for
half an hour.
Kernel 2.1.111 with various patches (I cannot remember them all!).
32MB Pentium/133 and using the traditional console (but this was all
done in X).
I just tried with dosemu on a console and filled memory with
XEmacs (in X). This did NOT show the message.
Well, that was the results of my tests so far. Anything else I can do
to help track this down?
