It does sound as if your swap area is damaged though. Depending on the disk type you could try doing a surface analysis. For SCSI disks that should be an option available from the SCSI BIOS. For ata drives, you'll probably have to download a DOS program from the disk manufacturer's website. There should be a non-destructive version which will let you know if there are areas on your disk that cannot be read. If that is the case, then your best course is to get yourself a new drive ASAP and copy your system onto it. A disk that has been so damaged as to run out of alternate blocks etc. is definitely on it's last gasp and likely to fail completely at any time.
