Thanks Alan and Jim,
The following is the output of top on my system. It shows that system has
light load and the virtula memory is far enough for use. In my view this
problem is not caused by the insufficient swap space. Is it possible there
are any other reasons? Such as the system don't free the swap space
occupied by dead process.
