Memory deallocation probs with 2.0.27

We run a mud on linux 2.0.27 on a triton ii motherboard with 2 ide drives
and 64 megs ram.

The mud crashes occasionally as muds are likely to do. We run it under
gdb. Well it seems that when it crashes, it does not deallocate the ram.
It is a DIKU mud loosely based on the old code.

After about 5 crashes (2 to 3 days) we are totally in swap and I have to
reboot. I can even shutdown the mud and we are still in swap!
