No, I'm definitely leaking memory. From 18 MB free to 2 MB free in
about 3 days.
What's weird is no processes seem to be taking an undue amount of RAM.
I just have high "cached" and "buffered" values (11 and 13
respectively). I'm getting this info from 'cat /proc/meminfo'.
When I reboot the same processes are running but the free memory shoots
back up.
