Hi all. Thought I'd bring this to your attention;
don't know if anyone else has noticed this.

Linux 2.1.43 #4 Sat Jul 12 18:43:48 EDT 1997 i486

Mem-info:

The swap cache. delete 79574668 / 23756. Pretty big number.
Continually increasing, too.

By the way, I've been running 2.1.43 for about a month now and I really
haven't had any problems with it, except for Apache 1.2.1 httpd server
completely locking the system up every time netscape accesses localhost
more than 3 times at once. A temporary file or two in the apache directory
becomes unlinked, fsck.2efs complains about it on the next boot.
