Exactly.  And I don't believe that any of us are going to say that JAMES is
intentionally holding on to an extra 2MB per day.  So it is unintentional
and no longer needed.  :-)  Either that or we've identified something where
we have not properly controlled an upper limit, e.g., the DNS cache should
be much lower or the heap size much higher (I don't believe this to be the
case).
