I did not check if the model was a SWAPSIZE+REALMEM or a SWAPSIZE
model. Anyway, I think you are assuming that the "swap -s" command
shows as total memory just the swap space... Maybe, maybe not. I
don't know. But the space against which I reached the ceiling *was*
the one reported in the "swap -s" command.

I'd say partitions. While perusing man pages, I caught briefly the
comment that a swap partition could overwrite a normal partition, in
a man page about a special command to create swap partitions.
Anything you'd like me to check in particular? If you have any
source code you'd like me to run, just send it to
c...@comp.cs.gunma-u.ac.jp, though I can only run them at the
earliest on monday. Well, at least my monday is your sunday night...
