Hi Mark, I always get that when I try to compile something large
from a xterm window in Xwindows. If your compiling this way drop out of
Xwindows long enough to get the compile done.

Also, if you have 20 meg of ram you better have a 40 meg swap
file. If your swap file is less than 20 meg worry about that. Changing a
swap file is a pain of major proportions!
