Well, assuming SWISH-E is functioning properly (even if it isn't), can't
you just nice it to 15 or 20 or something safe?  I assume AIX is a Unix
and has nice/renice.  I'd probably never run something like SWISH under
under 10 priority on a loaded machine.  Even if it doesn't use much CPU,
I'd still want to choke it back in case something goes awry.

Which version of SWISH-E?  A recent one?  I like the binary file
theory.  In a perfect SWISH, this wouldn't be a major issue.  But, I'd
also not rule out a bug.  This sort of stuff has been a problem with
SWISH in the past.  Make sure you're not indexing strange file formats. 
If it still crashes, then I'd be looking around for problems.
