Subject: users reaction to the release -- so far

      Personally, I like the new release on the whole and think everyone did
   a fine job. My only comment (though it IS a strong complaint) is the new
   swap-space blackhole bug. (On small disk workstations, this bug makes the
   workstation virtually useless to anyone for sessions longer than 4 hours.)

  This is not a new bug.  I believe that I first started experiencing
the swap space fragmentation problems on my RT during 6.0R.  I had
some discussions with Kubi about it at that point when I realized that
something unusual (and bad) was happening with swap space.
