Hi,

I am trying to run a process which forks its child.
The number of childs forked are 40. I ran the system for
48 hrs.=20

After that i noticed that certain childs got killed, throwing
"out of swap" error in the /var/log/messages.

What could be the reason for this. Any pointers
to this will be very much appreciated.

Pls suggest/guide in this regard.
thanks
Rajnish
