Sadly that's a bug we've been chasing for quite some time. Most recently reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465796 I think it's a memory leak because if you increase the SizeLimit it will continue to grow, I haven't been able to find a value where it stabilizes. If you have the memory, you might want to try setting it to 1_024_000 to see if it helps. It seems to also only affect the perl stack, as the python and java seem to do well with memory (at least they seem to level off at some maximum threshold). Another tidbit is this ONLY affects 64-bit Spacewalk. We have not been able to get this to happen on a 32-bit version EVER. So any data you can give us would be helpful, feel free to add your comments and observations to the but mentioned above.
