In parallel to Doug's comments. A few years ago, I spent literally
*days* trying to figure out why random processes were dying on one of my
servers. It turned out there was a bad block in the swap partition (this
was pre-SMART). Ever since then, if I've used swap on a machine that was
important enough, I used RAID-1.
