The problem I reported is not that 2.4 uses huge amounts of swap but
that trying to recover that swap off of disk under 2.4 can leave the
machine in an entirely unresponsive state, while 2.2 handles identical
situations gracefully.  

The interesting thing from other reports is that it appears to be
kswapd using up CPU resources.

This part is being worked on, expect a solution for this thing
soon...
