Looking at my own sytsems I can see a slow growth of VM size over 3
months, on a busy server, nothing dramatic. I suggest that you randomly
restart the daemon to avoid this. That is what we used to do for dns
which has a much worse leak. Debugging this is not easy. I have gone
over things many times. It could also come from some third party library
like openssl or berkeleydb. It is very hard to know. But it is not a
serious problem. This is not going to tax anyone's servers.
