Hi all:

Python < 2.5 is known to have some memory leak issues:

http://evanjones.ca/python-memory.html

This is what gmetad.py looks like after running for a day:

 6184 nobody    16   0 2384m 1.6g 2580 S   51 79.2 361:24.00 gmetad.py

(RSS = 1.6GB)

This won't sit well with a large installation, where you most likely
need the RAM for tmpfs.

The particular system I am running has Python 2.3.4.

Not sure if there is something in the code which we could tweak, but
we might have to mandate that users use at least Python 2.5 and up for
gmetad.py.

Cheers,

Bernard
