I found that I can cause the system to hang by doing a scp of a 1.5 Gb
file to the uml.  The file copy will get 50-80% complete and then the
uml hangs.  I notice that the host system is doing some swap/paging when
this occurs.  

The host is quite small, PII 300Mhz 384Mb RAM  Though the host has very
little to do except for the UML. 

I start the uml with:

TMPDIR=/tmp/uml linux  con0=fd:0,fd:1 con=pts \
    ubd0=daddy_rootfs ubd1=daddy_varfs ubd2=swapfs udb3=/dev/cdrom \
    ubd4=tmpspace   mem=256M eth0=daemon umid=daddy
