I managed to find the criminal last night! I have a cron process running aide, a program that scans all files on the disk, checks their signature and reports which files have changed. When I caught it yesterday, it was consuming 128MB and was far from done! Combine aide with Setiathome and Netscape and you can see why VM was killing my processes in the middle of the night.

I am also having problems with the VM which I was NOT having before SuSE 6.3. The times when it seems to happen seem to be when the following processes are running : setiathome, netscape, kde processes I do not know which one of them is causing the problem but when I use "top" I do not see anything unusual in terms of either memory usage or cpu usage. But one thing which seems to be related to it is that it usually happens within 1 hour of logging off the internet.
Have (m)any others seem this ?
