Memory leak.

[ivan <ivan@es.usyd.edu.au>]

Hi guy,

I am running 7.2RedHat kernel 2.4.9-31 from respect on Dell 4400 PowerEdge 
Server. Dual CPU 990MHz.

The machine was a lemon from the start. We paid for it 16000$, to find out 
that one controller and two SCSI disk were broken out of the box. 

Then it kept crushing a couple time a months with clear logs. Dell 
replaced mum and both CPUs. Still going down. Refused to replace RAM 
( 4Gb) Asked me to test memory buy swapping chips around despite all my 
explanations that this is a production server. I even wrote a little add 
for Dell. Buy DELL and you in Hell  

10 Days ago I installed DNS and DHCP servers from RedHat and noticed that 
"top" shows that the amount of consumed memory is slowly and constantly 
growing. Machine become unstable and a few users complained that their 
files disappeared. ( we have good backup ). I re-booted 4 days ago and now 
it looks it is doing it again.

Could you please advice how can I detect memory leaks.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Ivan.
