At the moment not one process's VSZ is over 16Mb with the exception of one
of the slon processes which is at 66Mb.

I'll run this over the next few days and especially as the server starts
bogging down to see if it identifies the culprit.

Is it possible to grab memory outsize of a processes space? Or would a
leak always show up by an ever increasing VSZ amount?

Thanks

John
