Problems with large swap partitions

[Marc Dequènes (Duck)]

Coin,

I was willing to try building openjdk, which is a nightmare for memory  
consumption (see  
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519012). So i added a  
new 20GB disk with a hd2s1 partition of the maximum size for swap.

First, i don't know if Hurd can handle several swap partitions, so i  
deactivated the initial one, just to be sure my result is not biased.

At boot, or run manually, swapon result in a segfault. Samuel  
suggested to try 1.7GB, which is known to work, as used on buildds  
currently. It failed in the same way. I attached the rpctrace, but i  
don't know what to do now. Could someone help ?

Regards.
