Is there a reason why netbsd can't do what other systems do (ie Solaris,
Digital UNIX, etc) and log the failure to swap?  I tried UTSL, but
couldn't easily see whether this condition is never logged, or only not
logged when no swap devices are configured.

(I can see that it might be difficult to swap syslogd in to do the logging
if the system can't swap anything else out, but other systems seem to at
least try!)
