42	42	The swapspace daemon has been in production use for several months on various
43	43	32-bit architectures before it was first released to the public, and has been
44		tested with swapfiles larger than can be addressed in 32 bits.
	44	tested with swapfiles larger than can be addressed in 32 bits. Some statistics
	45	for one test on a 32-bit PC with one gigabyte of memory:
	46
	47	Number of swapfiles 25
	48	Largest swapfile >5 GB
	49	Total swap allocated 44 GB
45	50

1		Output
2		- Print version number with help output; add --version option
3		- Ensure minimal repetition of error/warning messages
	1	For some reason it seems to be impossible to enter the "diet" state right now.

	3	After allocating 44 GB in 25 swapfiles of up to 5.8 GB (all decimally rounded
	4	from byte counts, not binary gigabytes) the program keeps attempting to allocate
	5	the same swapfile. It logs a notice "Allocating swapfile" but the only thing
	6	that follows is a transition to "hungry."
	7
	8	In one case an "Error writing swapfile" was logged, with the errno of "No space
	9	left on device," but the result was the same. Except that until this happened,
	10	the program seemed to loop in a state where it was unresponsive to a decrease in
	11	memory requirements. It should have gone into "overfed" by then, I think.
