I had a simmilar problem with squid when it was using 128meg of ram, I found
the solution to the problem in the LINT file. I'm not sure if it's the same
problem your having but here is an extract from the LINT file, basicly the
squid process hits 128 meg ram then dies.

# Certain applications can grow to be larger than the 128M limit

# allow that limit to grow to 256MB, and can be increased further
# with changing the parameters. MAXDSIZ is the maximum that the
# limit can be set to, and the DFLDSIZ is the default value for
# the limit. You might want to set the default lower than the
# max, and explicitly set the maximum with a shell command for processes
# that regularly exceed the limit like INND.
#
options "MAXDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)"
options "DFLDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)"
