Everything seemed to be working fine on those servers -- except that 
once every few months, the customer would call and complain that the 
machine had "locked up" without reason.  Usually it was when they'd been 
doing something memory intensive.

In each case, moving swap onto its own partition or into a file on a 
non-LVM partition fixed the problem.
