Re: doc patch - linux memory handling

I didn't find a single instance of a <warning> tag in the doc sources. I
did find a warning in an unadorned para, in func.sgml.

Anyway, I made the changes (using <note>) but anoncvs is now refusing my
login attempt, so I can't do the diff.

I've spent way too much time on this already - really my only concern
was that the docs would give people info that would make things worse
rather than better, and nobody else was doing anything about it.

cheers
