The only problem I know of is that they try to access the kernel variable "hz" via nlist. Since we do not use that kernel variable, nlist returns a zero, and the programs die with a SIGFPE. You can use HZ frominstead to fix that. As for your specific problem, it's possible that you are suffering from fragmentation of your swap space. You may be able to address this by configuring a kernel with different values for DMMIN and DMMAX, and/or by providng more swap space. If your discs were built from the default entries in a pre-5.2 /etc/disktab they may have a poorly sized swap area (10*1000*1024 instead of 10*1024*1024 bytes), causing part of the swap area to be wasted).
