The worst case failure with my "Ugly patch" should be that things hang,
and quit running completey.

If you could save a "vmstat -m" periodically, approaching the problem
this may help us identify where the memory is going, e.g. the output
from running this script:

#!/bin/sh
INTERVAL=20
while true
do
        for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
        do
                vmstat -m > vmstatlog.$i
                sync
                sleep ${INTERVAL}
        done
done
