Suddenly, after 36 hours uptime, the console was flooded with this
message.

Given the fact that this alpha has 1.5 Gb memory and 2 Gb swap, I feel
'out-of-memory' shouldn't happen (I was running mutt, slrn, some ssh
sessions - nothing big).

Is this report useful to someone? If more info is needed, just ask me.
