2.1.92-pre1, swapping behavior

Hi all:
I have a Pentium 166, 64 MB ram, 430VX chipset, 32 MB swap, BusLogic 948
SCSI, 2 SCSI disks, SCSI CDROM, SCSI Zip, SoundBlaster 16 PnP. I have
not seen any unusual swapping. I normally run X (matrox mystique),
recompile kernel (pgcc-1.01) and do general stuff (write code, etc)
while compiling and have not seen any bad things since 2.1.91. Only
thing is unloading sb as a module still messes up kmod's list, but a
reboot fixes that.
Point is, perhaps there is some odd interaction going on between IDE
devices and kswap that is causing problems.
