It seems to me that adding a 20M swap file makes my Nokia *less* stable, not more. I've tried both swap files on a MMC card as well as swap partitions, and in both cases it seems that I am more likely to crash the browser with swap enabled than with swap disabled.

Has anybody else seen this?

After enabling 16MB swap, I have seen gcc internal compiler errors
several times (I know that a proper way of development is to use
scratchbox, but installing gcc using apt-get was a faster way to get
something compiled for the device). After disabling swap and compiling
the same projects again, no ICEs were observed. But that might be just a
coincidence.

By the way, are there any hardware diagnostics tools to test system
stability on Nokia 770? For example defective memory is quite common on
desktop PCs, so I always suggest running memtest86 in the case when the
system seems to behave strange.
