Swapping wierdness on SparcStation 4 w/ 2.2.19

[Alex Buell]

I built and installed 2.2.19 on my SparcStation 4 last night, and have
been testing it by recompiling gcc 2.95.2 over and over. Just noticed now
that it doesn't seem to swap at all, despite the fact that the swap
partition exists and is active.

Here's the output from procinfo (snipped for brevity)

Linux 2.2.19 (root@sparc4) (gcc 2.95.2 19991024 ) #6 Sun Apr 1 22:23:42 BST 2001 1CPU [sparc4.]

Here's the output from swapon -s:

[alex@sparc4]/home/alex > swapon -s

Here's the /proc/cpuinfo, in case it is relevant
