No it gets killed by the kernel (out of memory). I saw this happen on a
host with 256 MB RAM and 500MB Swap, when more than 50000 hosts were4
stored. Using a box with 2 GB RAM it needs a maximum of about 300 MB.

I do not see this. I run it with rrd-plugin for a few weeks. I
only restarted it to read a new protocol list. Actually I have an uptime
of ca. 20.5 days. I use a CVS version from january, 5th.
