Why on earth are you using a 2.4 kernel?

Regs,

I have to use 2.4 kernel because I'm using some commercial software which logs some traffic data and it will run only on 2.4 Kernel. I had written some application which does nothing but running some commands(provided by the software) to read data logged by the software. While running my application the memory usage is increasing,but on termination of my application the increased/leaked memory was not reclaiming. I do not think that my application is leaking the memory as on termination the increased/leaked memory is not releasing back.
