 I did kill an SD card... I had managed to compile and run the HINT
benchmark suite (had to tweak the parameters a lot -- the examples were
listed from back in the days of 233MHz Pentiums, and a 1+GHz processor just
overran the benchmark) -- using free space on the SD card for swap. After
that I configured a USB hard drive for swap...
