I've just rebuilt a kernel with CTM 2075. Bad news: emacs still craps
out. Still, I have followed up on the "swap loss" problem and tried
starting emacs again and again. Here are the results. This is the
first thing I did after booting:

Looks like emacs is getting left behind in the swap, doesn't it?
Let's take a look:
# ls -l /usr/local/bin/emacs
-rwxr-xr-t 2 root bin 2168305 Apr 28 18:28 /usr/local/bin/emacs
So it's sticky, so I suppose it should get left behind in the swap.
But shouldn't swap be cleaned out of sticky if it fills up? In any
case, I rebooted and did:
# pstat -s

So probably this isn't the problem after all. Note particularly that
after the ls and chmod commands there were 640 kB less swap available
than before.
