Hi,

Is there a problem with the amount of memory that the pagedaemon and
reaper uses on 1.4.1? It looks like less on current. We are seeing
problems with a Athlon system under load with 1.4.1. Random reboots and
hangs. It looks like it is using 50% more memory for reaper and the
pagedaemon than current. We are not seeing the random reboots on Intel
Processors.
