I think you are right, particularly considering I was doing a doxygen
run with insane options (caller graph, calling graph and what not) on
kernel sources. I knew it would take a lot of memory, but I thought 2
GiB + 2 GiB swapspace was more than enough (yeah, I was a bit naive to
put it lightly). In the mean time, I discovered cscope which is I like
better than doxygen anyway.

Well, seems like nothing has to be solved finally: doxygen probably
runs out of memory and anyway I prefer cscope. The computer locks up
sometimes, but that is probably due to my staging wireless driver.

Thanks for your help,
Olivier
