ever increasing wired/MIPC memory

We are running DU 3.2D-1 with 512M RAM.

We are experiencing a problem with ever-increasing wired memory. 'vmstat
-M' seems to suggest that the problem lies with type MIPC of size 128. At
worst we've seen both of these at >150M!

Looking in the archives of this list, there have been reports of similar
problems, although I didn't see any solutions.

Does anyone have any ideas and/or pointers. It would help to know what
things allocate this type of memory. If it were Sys V IPC, I could use
'ipcs' to see what was allocated where. Is there a similar tool for
MIPC-type memory?
