Hi Rune You don't have unlimited virtual memory - this in fact refers to the swap space, so you have as much virtual memory as you allocated to your swapfiles. The kernel will tend over time to "page out" any memory which an application isn't using, so all this is telling you is that the daemon allocated itself 108Mb of memory which it hasn't used recently. First question - does the virtual memory usage increase with time, or is it fairly static once the daemon has been running for a while ? I have a similar memory usage although slightly lower - this is after six days and hasn't increased since I checked after your bug was raised: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3370 root 15 0 93352 700 472 S 0.0 0.1 0:59.42 upnpd I would not be surprised to learn that libupnp3 still has memory leaks, but the important question is, are they sufficient to cause a problem.
