Hi Pavel,

Can we follow-up privately for some further investigation? I'd
start with a memory profile, ie. collect every few secs/minute 
memory usage of every pmacct process, to determine how memory
utilization changes over time - and where that leads to. In
general i would say: if you keep the daemon running for, say, 24
hours and memory keeps increasing steadily then we have a good
lead towards what looks like a memory leak or so.

Cheers,
Paolo
