Well, ok... so what are the proper setup steps to ensure a system will not 
crash when the swap fills?  My system in question has a 50MB swap partition 
and 16MB of physical RAM.  I've tried to take further steps to prevent my 
swap from filling in the first place, but should it still happen sometime, 
I want to be prepared.
