Shame on me, I should have looked in /var/adm/messages

I wasn't at the machine that very moment and when I came in, swap space
was OK. I guess I'll install a cron script to track these things down. I
already have one on our entry-point mailhub.

The most likely culprit is the Oracle. The guys who developed those
applications are,... shall we say, less than good.

Thanks Phil for a nanosecond response time.

Nix.
