If i were you, i would collect a few vmstat -m outputs, probably using cron, at a time where the machines are pretty much idle and then compare them with the previous ones and see what's growing. If you're lucky, it gives you a pretty good indication in which subsystem the memory leak is. Then use the source :) Tobias
