Disk Swap filling up RAM disk??

I used the following setup change in my GEOS.INI file from part 2 of
the Zoomer FAQ:

memory = {
disk.geo
}

Then I noticed that after leaving my Zoomer set for a day
or two - without using it - my free space on the B: (internal
RAM disk) drive went from 256K to 54k. This happened three
times. I recovered the space only after doing a reset and a cold
boot on the unit.

After returning the INI file to:

memory = { }

the problem went away.

Anyone else experienced this problem? I don't see any reason
why an inactive Zoomer would need to swap something to disk
while suspended. Am I overlooking something?

The INI is set up for expert mode. The only apps running were
Book Reader and File Manager which were both iconized.
