It will run for a few days and then build up the amount of swap used until it exhausts it and then crashes. top output: last pid: 47897; load averages: 2.65, 2.56, 2.66 up 4+01:21:07 15:57:52 168 processes: 2 running, 165 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU: 28.8% user, 0.0% nice, 49.4% system, 0.0% interrupt, 21.8% idle Mem: 2694M Active, 471M Inact, 2291M Wired, 3276K Cache, 290M Free ARC: 933M Total, 42M MFU, 740M MRU, 226K Anon, 14M Header, 137M Other Swap: 2304M Total, 1911M Used, 393M Free, 82% Inuse The swap numbers just keep increasing.
