Hi Alain.

>>I conclude by this that only about 2.5MB are available in *total*
So it hit me today, I recall seeing the memory map for the 4MB RAM address space (0x0 - 0x3FFFFF), and sure enough, only around 2.5 MB allocated to user processes:

KERNEL ONLY = 00_00_00 – 07_FF_FF (512 KB)
User Process = 08_00_00 – 2F_FF_FF (2.5 MB)
Shared Lib = 30_00_00 – 37_FF_FF (512 KB)
Kernel VM = 38_00_00 – 3F_FF_FF (512 KB)

So I don't think increasing swap is going to help much given the limited address space.
