I've been running top for two days now and havn't noticed any process
sucking memory. Petr Novotny mentioned that it could be a kernel problem,
I guess there is a memory leak in 2.2.11. Which after checking is the
kernel I'm using on that box. So I'm going to up the kernel and see what
happens
Thanks!!!
