Yeah, I've only got 8M FAST, 2M CHIP too, AGA though, no video boards (soon
though...). That may be it, very likely that I'd run out of memory, however
I have been running X with emacs and two xterms, and pstat -T says I've
only used up 12M of 20M swap with all that running. Maybe it has something
to do with active pages that haven't passed the decay threshold filling up
real memory? Hmmm...
