Some VMs don't support swap files smaller than the amount of memory,
and if you have a smaller one, you may not be able to let your machine
sleep (with suspend to disk) anymore (on other systems like Linux).
Since that application is a bit older, I think we can change the
minimal amount to something more sensible. Having a large swap file may
make sense if you need that much RAM (ie. more than one app that needs
the full 2 GB of its address space).
Bye,
