VM: Linux-2.4.14-pre7 and qsbench

[Lorenzo Allegrucci]

Linux-2.4.14-pre7 kills early..

lenstra:~/src/qsort> time ./qsbench -n 90000000 -p 1 -s 140175100

With more swap space is much better, but performance seem slightly
worse than 2.4.14-pre6:

lenstra:~/src/qsort> time ./qsbench -n 90000000 -p 1 -s 140175100
