That's interesting news to hear.  I had no process deaths at all in over
a month of using the full cache flush on this one machine I use as my
primary workstation, though I was running it with as few processes as
possible -- primarily just XsunMono and ctwm, and one xload.  Is that an
IRC client or server?  How big is the process?  How much other context
switching happens on those machines (i.e. what else actually runs with
IRC)?
