Not that I've ever run across.  Note that while lots of Red Hat Linux
documentation (perhaps other distrib's documentation as well) specifies
a swap file of twice memory size, there's NO actual limitation or need;
the documentation was originally written when machines had 4 meg or so
of memory, and never changed.

None

Not applicable <smile>.
