I had a similar problem once, years ago, with a version of redhat linux when the memory was faster used up than it was free'd by the paging daemon. I managed to solve the problem by tweaking some kernel parameter's that influenced the behavior of the virtual memory system. But I think that now everything has improved with the current fedora versions, so this problem has disappeared.On Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:53:27 +1100I had a similar problem once and put a cron job in to run every

few minutes and log the output of a ps command to a file with
an output format that showed PID, VM size, and process start time.
Then I whipped out a perl script to analyze the logs, find PIDs
that were running a long time, and kept using more memory the
longer they run.
Of course, that just found what was leaking, it didn't find out
why it was leaking :-).
(And no, I don't think I have any of the scripts around anymore :-).
