    Hi,

    I have a PC with 2 Intel Xeons and SuSE 9.1 installed, I use a piece of
    software that regularly uses up all free RAM (1Gb installed) and crashes
    the whole machine. Now I expected this software would need a lot of RAM,
    so created a 2Gb swap partition when I originally installed the OS.

    The problem is that SuSE *never* tries to use swap and consequently the
    machine crashes every time I try to run my prog. If I run top whilst
    running the other prog: free RAM goes down, swap usage stays the same at
    0kb, always.... :(

    Is this a "known bug" - or is there something else I should be looking
    at to try to fix this?

    Any help/suggestions much appreciated.

    Cheers, Jon.
