Did you try GHC's heap profiler?
Or simply running your program with +RTS -Sstderr will give you a clue
about the shape of the heap usage - each line is a single GC, and it
includes the amount of live data at that point.
If your program has a flat heap profile and yet is still grabbing more
memory, then something else is going on.

Well the profile is definitely not flat.
I'm using the profiling tools and Network.accept is apparently the major
offender using both -hc and -hr profiles. I take it this implies that
the products of this function are being retained elsewhere. I do pass
the handle off to another thread via forking - this shouldn't be an
issue should it? Another retainer involves SYSTEM and Network.accept -
what exactly does SYSTEM mean?
SYSTEM is usually the stack, or some other root maintatined by the system (eg. a
StablePtr).

Simon
