This is on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE, a 3.2GHz system with 1GB Ram.... SA has
most of the rules loaded that comes with rules_de_jour.....
Do you have bigevil.cf? If so, stop, and delete it ASAP. The author has
removed this ruleset from the web because people failed to heed his warning
that it's grown to be very large and uses a lot of RAM.
Next step, remove ALL your RDJ rulesets that are over 64k in filesize, and
add them back 1 at a time to check their memory impact.
In general, you can't add every ruleset in the universe without paying a
penalty in memory usage. More rules = more memory consumption.
