It seems Karl has made some changes, but check_swap has also been 
changed to use system calls rather than meminfo, so this may not be 
relevant anymore.

Placing this into a pending state as this we are trying to reduce the 
number of calls. Please update if this is still a problem.

Please check CVS head - works on my 2.6 system, but I have
much less swap than you.
