This time I tried

  while(){fortune>/dev/null&&cat /dev/swap}

in a rio window. kfs died in about 3 minutes,

  kfs 7: suicide: sys: trap: fault: read addr=0xcd pc=0x000043f1

No, it wasn't swapping; /dev/swap kept saying until
the last moment,

  1383/27511 memory 0/19350 swap

and ^t^tx (after the crash) reports almost the same
figure at the last line,

  1391/27511 memory 0/19350 swap 0 iolist

I have 128MB of RAM, with *kernelpercent=15 line
in my plan9.ini. It shouldn't swap.

What do you mean by "random-bound"? Does
fortune's use of fastrand(2) have something to do
with this? If this is only me, I am beginning to
suspect there's something seriously wrong with
my hardware setup.
