Reason for resending: It doesn't look like the ports@ address works.

I see a memory leak (or something like that) in the ports
sysutils/xfce4-netload-plugin
sysutils/xfce4-systemload-plugin

The ports start out using less than 100M of memory (taken from the
SIZE column in top), but over a short time (about a week or two) grows
to almost 1000M.
An example is my workstation, which has been up for =A0about three days now=
:
tingo@kg-v2$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-v2.kg4.no 8.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.3-PRERELEASE #5: Fri Apr
=A06 21:35:20 CEST 2012
root@kg-v2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC =A0amd64
tingo@kg-v2$ uptime
=A08:49PM =A0up 3 days, 22:19, 20 users, load averages: 0.12, 0.21, 0.23
xfce4-netload-plugin is now at 670M and
xfce4-systemload-plugin is at 509M

Ports on the machine are updated:
root@kg-v2# pv | grep netload
xfce4-netload-plugin-1.1.0 =A0=3D =A0up-to-date with port
root@kg-v2# pv | grep systemload
xfce4-systemload-plugin-1.0.0_2 =A0=3D =A0up-to-date with port

Does anyone else see this? I reported it originally in the Forums[1] ,
but didn't get any response.

And how can I diagnose the problem further, so that I can provide a
better error report
