>_what_ is using memory?

good question.  the java process appears to only have 12-15 meg (as it
always does).  There aren't more http children than normal, and those
children are using normal amounts of memory.  top & ps are so far unhelpful
in letting me know who the culprit is.  Next time it goes wonky I will be
sure to take some ps -e snapshots.  I do know that this doesn't happen on my
apache machines without java.

OK - after some further research the PID for java does change after doing a
kill -HUP.  I had made the assumption that java was eating memory (even
though I couldn't prove it) and that since a restart did not return the
memory than it didn't appear to be restarting.  I wish I had checked that
earlier, it is plain to see that the java binary is being restarted.  So
what could consume memory without showing up in top or ps?  Am I barking up
the wrong tree with that?
