Hi Patrick,

It could just be that the machine has not enough memory to hold all the processes VM state., but I think it should return ENOMEM for that situation.

Wouldn't the memory requirement be the same for the case where I comment out the swap device line in /etc/fstab and start swap manually? But it works OK then...
