Oliver, Thanks for this excellent article. I was trying to write about the same thing, but keep it simple enough to improve the chances of it crossing the language barrier weel enough to be useful. I believe you did a really good job of this and saved me several minutes of tying to do the same.
I thought the warning in the man page was adequate (until 7.0 changes the default to swap backed), but, at least in Michael's case, I guess I was wrong. I guess the man page need to somehow make it clear that the memory used by malloc backed mds is a very limited resource. -- R.
