Typically, the CEF tables needed for BGP routes are charged to the BGP
process (in show proc mem), but BGP doesn't know that, so "show ip b su"
doesn't show it.
OTOH if you only have a default route, it should return the memory.
You might have run into one of the BGP "prefixes get stuck in limbo if
a peer that would receive them is down" bug - an upgrade might be worth
wile (if only for the number of security relevant upgrades in the last
few months).
