Hi,
yesterday I was editing 56MB large file with ViM editor.

After some operations like 'delete from here to EOF' (dG) I got
10^n messages like that:
VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for epic...
VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for ssh...
VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for bash...

 ... and Linux went unusable for 1 hour (swapping ...)

Linux 2.2.16=20
+ combo patch (alan cox)=20
+ ow1 (http://www.openwall.com/linux/)=20
+ stealth (http://www.innu.org/~sean/)
+ patch-int-2.2.16.3 (www.kerneli.org)

P150/32MB RAM/76MB swap

Any suggestions?

Have a nice day
