Thanks for the responses, guys. Here's the deal... I do have a couple things running, mainly just my alarm clock, which has a pretty small memory footprint, empegVNC, the tiny telnetd that was posted here a while ago... I think that's it... I do have the swap partition enabled, and I do remember it being automatically used during a sync...

I just don't see what the problem could be with memory if it's enabling a big swap partition... But I could try to go back to the normal init and try again. I'm hesitant to do a clean upgrade because it takes a long time to get my Empeg back to my "hacker friendly" setup with all the debian tools, user apps, etc. But in the meantime I'll switch to the stock init and see what's up.

Does that seg fault specifically say I'm running out of memory? I'm no good at reading stack traces.
