memory usage/leaks ?

[Harald Koenig]

Hi,

using Om 2008.8 with zecke-dev updates I'm running almost out of memory 
without any "real" application:

root at om-gta02:~# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        123920     121816       2104          0         24      12104
-/+ buffers/cache:     109688      14232
Swap:            0          0          0


sorting ps output for the peak RSS shows a huge "hald"

# ps uax | sort   -b  -k 6 -nr | head
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND

whereas sorting for peak virtual size (VSZ) gives this picture (huge qpe)
