I've made some improvements to kswapd's logic, and it
survived several 'killer' apps without much problems.
I've sent it to Linus for 2.1.89-pre2, and it might
already be in 2.1-89-pre3 (I haven't checked though).
I've been running my machine with this algorithm for
several weeks now, and this kernel has been running
for almost four days now. I'll try your program later
on and report back...
Rik.
