Nope, it was a bug in the page aging which caused the system
to treat file system cache as MORE important than programs.

I think I may have fixed that bug recently, I'm waiting for
Alan to run out of critical bugfixes so he has a suitable
moment to integrate it into -ac ;)

Until then, you can get the page aging patch from my home
page: http://www.surriel.com/patches/

cheers,
