howdy.

	my apologies for my previous incomplete mail message.
	i was trying out a feature i hadn't used before in my mail
	system...

	but i am having a problem with disappearing memory space.

	i'm running 950210-SNAP, and i'm experiencing a significant
	VM free memory leak, just doing normal long (big) compiles.

	here's what top thinks before and after the long compile.
	after the compile, the system is quiet:

		load averages:  0.07,  0.03,  0.01    11:07:00
		41 processes:  1 running, 40 sleeping

  --->>>	Memory: 14M Act 1520K Inact 2860K Wired 13M Free 
  (before)



		load averages:  0.33,  0.59,  0.57    11:01:42
		48 processes:  1 running, 47 sleeping

  --->>>	Memory: 15M Act 1192K Inact 3220K Wired 3812K Free 3% Swap
  (after)

		11:01AM  up  1:38, 5 users, load averages: 0.33, 0.59, 0.57


  	Free space has lost about 10mbytes !


  	is this a known problem ?
	i have outputs from the following script:

		top -b >>ks
		uptime >>ks
		ps -aux >>ks
		swapinfo >>ks
		pstat -s >>ks
		vmstat >>ks
		iostat >>ks
		/bin/ls -l /proc >>ks
		vmstat -i >>ks
		vmstat -m >>ks
		vmstat -s >>ks
		/bin/ls -lR /proc >>ks

	from before and after the occurrance of the problem, and
	can submit these if they would be usefull.  i can also
	reproduce the problem readily, but haven't yet minimized
	the conditions that create it.  so i'm open for suggestions...

	thanks.
	sup-ping now...
