Hi,

this is a bug already fixed in newer versions of dphys-swapfile, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564466. The version in Maverick is already a fixed one. Maybe that fix should be backported to Lucid...

The only difference between the above mentioned bug report in Debian from nearly a year ago and this one is that /proc/kcore has now a zero size instead of an insanely huge size. I regard the case with a zero size kcore as way less critical than the one which fills up your hard drive.
