Sorry, got lost in the releases myself (After the release marathon ;)). The

Ah ha.
I was using the latest ubuntu release, that I had backported to lucid (5.8.1)
Now using 5.8.3 and memory use looks a *lot* better. (Sitting around

Thanks!
I'll make a suggestion to the ubuntu maintainer to move up to 5.8.3 :)
for good or bad, rsyslog is a program under very rapid development. this
is good since lots of improvements are available, but it's bad when
combined with distro packagers who don't keep up.

The version is too old. TLS had a memory leak, which has been fixed in
5.6.4.
Note that 5.6.5 is the current stable, so using 5.6.4 calls for
unneeded
problems, aka upgrade to the latest one ;)
