Default slackware-current not using swap?

Hello,

I recently noticed that some of my programs (mplayer for instance)
would crash with an allocation error (BadAlloc), as if I had run out
of memory, and when I checked free, I noticed that my swap partion
wasn't being used at all.

[jobo - 16:51:40 ~]$ free
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 246936 242196 4740 0 8964
127344
-/+ buffers/cache: 105888 141048
Swap: 687952 0 687952

Since I'm using swaret to keep my system updated with
slackware-current, I figured current was the issue, and when I checked
another machine I had running current, it had the same problems with
swap.

Have anyone else experienced this problem with current?

regards
