That's sort of what led to my original question... in a low memory situation, starting a second 
instance of qmail generated an error ("cannot allocate memory" from libc.so.6).

At the time the error occurred, I had about 5Mb free real memory and 500Mb free swap 
which led me to wonder whether a) there are certain things that can't be swapped or b) 
something's wrong with my configuration that keeps it from swapping.  I suspect the former 
is true so I was trying to get as much information as possible in order to optimize my 
configuration.

Cheers,
