Doc,

     Sorry I did get the two mixed up, but the premise
of the "out of memory" seems good.  You could have 4GB
of RAM and 16GB of Swap but sooner or later you would
hit a saturation point after enough data was recieved.
 It just seems logical that the more memory you have
available to the kernel the more data you can
transfer, but with the bug there is a saturation point
to any transfer.  This is a little too deep into the
kernel for my experience, but seemed like a good
explantion of the event.  

Daniel
