Rik,
That's astonishing, I'm sure, but think of us poor bastards who DON'T have
an SMP machine with >1gig of RAM.
This is a P120, 32meg. Lately, fine has degenerated into bad into worse
into absolutely obscene. It even kills my PGSQL compiles.
And I killed *EVERYTHING* there was to kill.
The only processes were init, bash and gcc/cc1. VM still wiped it out.
