Subject: swapout frenzy quick-fix
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 20:54:56 +0100 (MET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.91.980309205216.2479A-100000@mirkwood.dummy.home> (raw)
Hi Jason and Linus,
I made a quick-fix for the swapout frenzy occurring in
2.1.89...
It's far from perfect, but until the changes from Ben
and Stephen are merged, it'll have to do :-(
Rik.
