[gentoo-user] swap usage creeping up

Hi, over the last week or so I've noticed unusually large swap usage. I usually hibernate this laptop and have uptimes up to 12 days so apps can run for a long time. I don't usually use any swap space (except for a few k). If I swapoff and swapon, the usage falls back to zero but then creeps up

Have you tried 2.6.34? FWIW i use gentoo-sources. I have no useful ideas at this point - beyond my level. Have you tried running it with strace to establish what its doing just before it dies? Does ldd show any missing libs? malloc = Memory ALLOCation

My principle for using vmware on Gentoo is; use the latest vmware, do not use the latest kernel. I'm using Workstation 7.1.2, which works well with 2.6.34, also works with 2.6.35 (but wants to rebuild one kernel module every time it runs, which I havent tried to fix).
