Try out the change I just made to swap_pager for -current.   If the
motivation is solid enough, I can give the 2.2.5-2.2.6 changes a try,
but it is exceedingly difficult for me to manage my machines as they
are now.  I have to run other OSen also.  When I run other U**X clones,
it makes me realize, even with our bugs, our stuff is much more
advanced (bugfixes and robust.)  There is a serious difference in
personalities amongst the various U**X clones!!!
