Fast and straight to the point, as usual.
Thanx to Michael Bucholtz and Kenneth Forward, who got there first.
My fault, machine is actually jp5.

There is a memory leak in process accounting that lets out
256 bytes each time a process ends.
More info at

My solution will be turn off accounting now, and patch ASAP.
YMMV. :)

thanx again,
