My system was regularly decreasing the free memory value at 4 byte steps.

I was scouting the net a bit last night. Apparently a leak appeared  in
OpenSwan 2.4.5 some time ago and still persists up to 2.4.7 and kernel
2.4.34 :-(

So it is possible that 2.4.4 does not show this problem.
Unfortunately 2.4.7 is the latest you can get at Xelerance. I was
planning to move my system towards StrongSwan as I can get excellent
local support for this software (the developers live around the corner).
This problem will definitely speed this effort up.
