Hi,
i have a strange problem
i looked through the archives but couldn't find the answer that would fit
my question :(
anyway, i have a huge (i think) swap 
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd0s1b    204800     7228   197508     4%    Interleaved
And everything seemed to work just fine until just couple of days ago,
when all the sudden processes started being killed because the system
thinks it's out of swap space.  most of the time it's the procmail process
that is being killed:
pid 1277 (procmail), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
When actually  it doesn't have even 2Mb total of files in the
/var/spool/mqueue to process.
Also, if i start top it says 41Mb of ram is free, so i am not sure why it
would even go into swap?
thanks.
val
