Hello,

We are currently experiencing a problem under Ultrix 4.2A in which
named processes configured as "slaves" and running on our workstations
are growing in size without any bound.  The problem does not occur
on our servers.  The size of the named process does not appear to
be related to the number of entries that are cached.  Slave named's
running on different machines, with approximately the same number
of entries in their caches, have different memory sizes, ranging
anywhere from 5Mb to 30+Mb.

After talking with some people at DEC, I found out there are documented
memory leaks in named, but the known causes do not apply in our
environment.  Has anybody else had similar problems?  If so, have
you been able to track down the cause?

Thanks,

Mike Kiernan
