Thanks. I realize this. in my message I mentioned that the failure mode
was running out of memory. and that I added swap. What I failed to include
was that (including swap) i had 3/4 G of VM the 1st time, and a bit over
2 G on the 2nd try.

Is 2GB still not enough to compile ns_core.c, or is something else wrong?

If possible I would prefer not to invest another week or more to find out
that insufficient swap space wasn't the problem after all.
