Yikes! That is not a leak that is a fire hose! Have you tried looking at it with TOP? That might shed add'l light on it. If this situation is on Sun hardware there is a very good book on performance tuning that came out sometime in the mid 90's. It has some very good investigative methods for just what you're talking about and the techniques do cross over to other yew-nix variants. I've used it to tune everything from a Sun E2000 with 20 cpus to my current Sun F6800 4 domain/12 cpu monster.
Here is the book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0131496425/104-2139131-2667145 -phil -----Original Message----- From: AOLserver Discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Janine Sisk Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 6:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AOLSERVER] memory leak in 4.0.9?

I've been experimenting with using htdig to search a client site, and I have it "digging" the staging site once an hour. It only grabs 500 articles, and it's the same ones each time. There's very little other traffic on the staging site. Each time the dig runs, the size of the nsd process grows a bit; when it was last started up a week ago it was using 53 MB and now it's using 1.77 GB (that's assuming that the numbers ps gives me are in KB, which I've been told they are). This doesn't seem right to me, but I don't have any tools to diagnose it further.
