2.1.92 is about as bad as pre-2.1.92-2 on my 16MB system. I
commented out the "raising capabilites" message in fs/exec.c and
tried:
(1) compiling init/main.c -- no problem
(2) starting X and compiling from an xterm -- no problem
(3) starting top in another xterm and compiling --
cached went down from 5548K to about 1024K
free stayed about 1024K
after a minute, screen froze
20 minutes later I gave up and hit reset

Is there any point in my going through this exercise?
