Yes, I had this problem as well, but it only happened when I was in vpix.
Since then, I have re-partioned my hard-drive to be just unix... Which
freed up about an extra 50Mg for me and now I don't have the problem any more.
During the repartioning I increased my swap space by about 5-10Mg's as well.
Either by having more swap space or having more than 5 Mg's free on my HD, I
know have 47MG's free, cleared up the problem for me.
