Subject: 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
