Ran it for about 2 days, SWAP went full (I have 32M real, 20M swap), 
I killed everything (X, xfmail, emacs, etc etc) but top would show
Swap 20M Total, 100% Inuse
BTW TOP traps when trying to display user processes?? 
pstat -s  shows
40960 blocks 4240 used, 36592 avails
vmstat shows
2348 avail, 9460 free.
I guess I can't trust top?  Will get newer version...
FYI,
