There is something wrong with -stable.  I reported this to John about a month
ago, maybe two (I forget exactly).

I noticed it when I upgraded from 32MBytes to 96MBytes of RAM; my swap usage,
instead of going down, went drastically up.

I am pretty sure it is related to MFS in my case; I was unable to see an MFS
process in PHK's ps listing.

Right now, I am at:

Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/sd0s1b    131072     4448   126560     3%    Interleaved
/dev/sd1s1b    131072     4408   126600     3%    Interleaved
Total          262016     8856   253160     3%

I'm sorry, but with 96MBytes of RAM, there is no reason for my system to swap,
given what it does.  And that amount will slowly grow; when I rebooted for the
OS upgrade on Saturday, it was at 39MBytes or so (MFS is 32MBytes on my
system).

However:  when I shut down to single user mode, it dropped down to about
100Kbytes in use.

So, I think there's a leak, but I'm not sure *where* it is.  Or perhaps it's
just bad swap usage by the kernel.
