That is certainly a possibility but I would like someone to tell me that
this is the problem. In response to another comment it is true that the
largest swap partition is 2Gig. On out machine with 8 Gig of swap we
have 4 2Gig swap partitions. It is probably a waste of swap space so
maybe I should reduce it.
