I'm using Micheal's patch on a system that acts as an IRC server and mail
relay. During sendmail queue runs, I'm getting frequent
Couldn't get a free page.....
messages, sometimes in groups of several at a time.

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 47176 46268 908 46520 700 6324
-/+ buffers: 39244 7932
Swap: 94856 9752 85104

I have not much free or buffers, but lots of cached. I thought buffers
and cached were similar? During the last queue run, I got this:
irc.aohell.org:# free
su: fork: Out of memory

Other than this, the system seems to be doing ok. It's only been up 1 day
though.
