Subject: Re: swap file weirdness


Page files (well, any file) can get corrupted if the application exits
in such a way that go32 doesn't get a chance to clean up properly.  As
of 1.12, go32 paging files always have the string "go32 paging file"
in the first block of the file, so that you can tell that that's what
they are.

I've seen this happen myself, but I can't figure out a reliable and
short way of reproducing it.
