Do we have a consensus on what platforms and conditions the swap problem 
exists?  Any such info is GREATLY needed.  I can only assume it really
exists on ALL platforms at this point.

Here's the big favour:  Is anyone with a stable/fast machine able to tarball
up a complete build of the lastest cvs with this file (both source and obj)
and make it available to me for FTP?  I really don't think I need mention
the speed of the uvII here, and the fact that I'm manually traversion the
first directory levels from the TLD to hand-hold a build through to
completion here ;)   I'd REALLY appreciate this head-start.

Thanks, and regards,
