Yeah, but sometimes, when recompiling the system on my diskless CPU
server with half a gig of RAM and no swap, I get an out of memory
error linking ghostscript and the build stops.  If I restart it on
my laptop, which has 128 megs of RAM and however much swap space, it
works fine.  Kind of a bummer.

But definately don't waste dump space for swap....
