That used to be the case before kernel 2.2 IIRC. Nowadays the limit is
in the gigabytes. FWIW I'm using a 400 meg swap partition without
problems.

 Ok, well that's good to hear.

Are you sure it only hit swap then? I can't remember ever seeing active
but completely unused swap space, even when RAM usage was low.

The bottom line is yes, you likely have another problem.

 This isn't though.. :-(

Mem:  1024100K av,  774636K used,  249464K free,  0K shrd,  179708K  buff
Swap:  524280K av,       0K used,  524280K free             490400K  cached

 this is what my machine is like at the moment. So, from what you are
saying, my problem lies elsewhere (ie. is not swap *size*), but is likely
swap related?

Or maybe it's related to the huge amount of RAM you have, but others
will know better.
