I experienced a similar thing recently at a customer's installation... 
the server ran out of memory, and got restarted automatically. Cursory 
watching of memory usage showed me the SD used about 300 MB (on a 
machine with 512 MB). Afterwards, I set up some memory monitoring, but 
the problem hasn't happened again.

I've got no idea why the SD would need that much memory... usually I 
don't notice a remarkable memory consumption by the SD.

Can you reproduce the problem?
