[K12OSN] How to diagnose terminal which keeps logging user off?

[jam at mcquil.com]

Sure sounds like the terminal is running out of RAM.

Try setting   USE_NFS_SWAP = Y
in the lts.conf file, and see if the problem goes away or changes.

The NFS Swap acts as a safety net.  Without swap, if the system
runs out of memory, the kernel goes on a killing spree.  Most of
the time, it picks the Xserver to kill, to regain some memory.
The Xserver then respawns, and you find yourself sitting at the
login screen again.
