Sujit,
Just so you don't feel all alone, I also am experiencing this problem.
From
my standpoint, it looks like a memory leak. The Sun guys do not think so.
I have a Ultra 10 running 2.6, with the jumbo patch installed. The machine
has 128MB ram and 2 quad 10/100 nic's. The console sits not logged in at
the login prompt (not openwin or cde).
If I use vmstat on the box, I can see that the memory goes away in about
8k chunks until I start using swap space. It then keeps chunking away
memory
until I run out of swap and the machine will hang.
As yet, I have not found a fix.
Jeff
BTW. If you get anywhere with this, pleas let me know.
