[rhn-users] kswapd?

[Ray Stell]

One of my hats is oracle dba.  I just had this exchange
on an oracle dba list.  Someone said kswapd is broken:

..."the "kswapd" issue on RH, would not recommend Linux for anything mission     
critical. I don't know if the issue exists in the 2.6 kernel (SUSE 9), but both
RHAS 2.1 and RHAS 3.0 have the problem."

I thought it was fixed per:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2002-319.html

They replied:

"It's not fixed. Redhat claims each release has the fix, but we are running
update 5 (e49) and update 6 (e57) and both these releases have the problem.     
Redhat support is not much help either."

I've not seen this in testing.  Have you?
