Yes.

There hasn't been a "memory fine" in 2.x.  In production there have always
been some "leaks", such as the fact that file-based repositories could
monotonically increase their memory requirements, e.g., when used to record
spam or error messages.  We've made progress to eliminate them, and I'm just
disappointed that we have one now that is being difficult to track.

Last night I got a page that the server was unavailable.  I found a half
dozen OOM in phoenix.console, and the SMTP threads were all non-responsive,
but I could still telnet into RemoteManager, and saw that the heap was down
to 8MB, but I could force the GC, and it came back with 100MB free.  JAMES
didn't recover and required a re-start.  I did a kill -3 first, but the heap
profile doesn't show anything obviously out of whack.
