 It states that the code is unable to page whole blocks, but that it is  
 able to process one by one items. This tells us that it works, just  
 not for 'larger' items in a row.
 You mention that you received a coredump, can you process that with  
 'textdump' so that we can see what happened here? It could be some  
 other thing that
 resulted in an error.
 
 Recently I added a second swap partition to my setup, which didn't  
 lead to any problems you describe. Could be a local issue or just a  
 glitch in the matrix ofcourse.
