I can repoduce the problem at any time:
1) i open two nxterm session.
2) in the first one, i run a program that will consume very much
memory (130 Mb whereas the physical memory is 64 Mb), then access
randomly all the memor.
3) in the second session, i just do some 'ls'
It will generate segmentation fault as long as the first session
is heavily swapping.
Please find below the report of the second nxterm session.
bash# ls -l /database/
total 60726
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5094086 Sep 25 19:28 heliosam.linux
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56843448 Sep 23 12:03 heliosam.os2
bash# ls -l /database/
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

bash#
While typing the first 'ls' the machine was not very much loaded,
while typping the second, a process was swapping intensively,
while typing the third, the heavy swapping process had been killed.
Extra information:
- i am running on an SMP box
- the problem does not occure with 2.1.12x kernel
