Hello,

I'm not sure if this is anything to be concerned about or not, but I've
been noticing my box goes from having 46M of memory free at boot time 
(according to top) to under 1M within two days, where inactive memory 
has mysteriously increased by the "missing" amount.

Is this symptomatic of a memory leak and is there some way for me to 
see whats reserving the inactive memory or an advise course of action 
to debugging this?

Many thanks in advance.

  r.



Mem: 8176K Active, 20M Inact, 10M Wired, 6471K Buf, 22M Free
Swap: 256M Total, 256M Free
