2.0 kernel eating all memory



Hi,

Has anyone besides Al Zick and myself noticed that memory allocated to the kernel on NetBSD 2.0 on at least Amiga and mac68k keeps growing and growing until the system runs out of memory and crashes?

For instance, a 132 meg Quadra 605 after 15 days of uptime, not doing too much work:
    5 root      18    0     0K   65M syncer   381:55  0.15%  0.15% [ioflush]

An Amiga 4000 with 128 megs of memory after 4 days, mostly idle:
    5 root      18    0     0K   45M syncer    35:44  0.34%  0.34% [ioflush]

If I have either of these machines start a bulk package build (which is what they had generally been doing), they'll crash inside of a few days to a week. Another Quadra 605 with only 68 megs of memory typically crashes in just a day or two.

Al has an Amiga and has been around when the kernel is up around 120 megs allocated for it, and is swapping madly before it finally crashed.

Anyone?

John
