the thing is, i have torture tested the swapping code by using Stephen
Tweedie's nice trick of swapping to ramdisk (the old one...) and doing
random schedules, and have seen zero, nil, nada problems. I have done more
swapping than a normal system would do in 10 years ... but i'm using GCC
2.7.2.3.
[actually i saw problems because we still do not handle the 'out of swap'
case very gracefully, but thats another issue. Also, the ramdisk test does
not (yet) fully simulate a real disk.]
