As I saw the thread today, I started looking at it myself, on RH's 2.4.18-18.8.0. By now I have: 1 0 0 432892 23828 44648 407208 0 0 0 24 780 879 95 5 0 ====== However, top says: PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 1450 dmitri 15 0 546M 178M 16212 S 1.1 23.6 21:50 pan I close pan, and what a change! 3 0 0 432664 20720 44748 410260 88 0 392 20 710 925 95 4 1 1 0 0 46316 197172 44760 409684 40 0 40 160 782 1177 88 12 0 So you probably still have some process which is eating your memory. And once you find it, restart it: PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 3994 dmitri 15 0 15044 14M 6152 S 0.9 1.9 0:00 pan Dmitri
