Your reasons beat ours, Ray. We just reboot the box every weekend because we do and we always have. It is AIX, too. We don't even reboot our Win 2K machines as often.
there's also run away processes from poorly written third party software, or internally written for that matter [but they i could "persuade" the developers to change their code.;-)] and some from SQL-Server connections.
as well as the fact i was "required" to take cold backups every day along with hot backups. just don't go there, OK?
