Hello all,
recently I've noticed on my OpenBSD 4.5 Stable box strange memory behavior
while downloading files from ftpd daemon.
It seems ftpd is somehow allocates more and more memory. Memory is not freed
until something else needs it.
At least it is always freed after daily script runs. I've noticed this
problem while few clients were downloading files from the box and I don't
recall I saw something similar on OpenBSD 4.4.
top output shows something like this: Memory: Real: 53M/836M (normal state
should be about 53M/170M)
I was also trying to reproduce the "problem" by downloading files from ftpd
and saving remaining free memory every 10 minutes.

Is it a normal situation?
Thanks
