I am just letting you guys know that htnotify might contain a memory leak, leading to it using huge amounts of memory, and even aborting due to lack of memory.
At the moment I dont know where to look for the problem, so help would be appreciated.
There is a know issue with htnotify involving the manner in which it opens some streams. Up to this point, I don't recall anyone reporting the resulting problem as affecting Linux, but it has caused problems under both Solaris and OS X. I think the fact that it has not thus far affected other platforms is more an accident than anything else, so maybe something has changed that now makes your platform susceptible. The problem is discussed in the following thread.

You might try specifying the htnotify_prefix_file and htnotify_suffix_file and creating the corresponding text files. If that eliminates the problem you are encountering, then most likely the bug described above is at the root of the problem.
There is a patch that partially corrects the problem; however it neglects to treat one special case and ignores entirely another section of the code that is susceptible to the same sort of problem. When I get a chance, I will take a stab at putting together a more complete patch.
