kernel is 2.4.7-ac3 with the used-once patch.
I have 160M of ram, and I don't use swap at all, but some minutes before
kswapd was eating lot's of cpu (98-100%). the system did not responded for
some 10 seconds, then it worked for some seconds, then it did not responded
again, until I did a swapon. after adding the swap to the system, it
swapped out 148k then everything was ok. kswapd still eat some of the cpu
(0.5% of a k6-2/450). then swapoff, and everything is OK, again.

I will try to reproduce it, but I don't think I will succeed.
