Wondering are there known any memory leak bugs in the latest 31-pre
kernel Linus relased so far before leaving to Germany?

I had been my box running for 9 days by now, and as you can see below, if
I'm reading it correctly, whole of my 64mb ram is basically gone, and it
is 20mb into swap. I don't think I'm running anything more than at time
when I did booted it up and there was at least 40mb of ram free.
I'll try put it into single user mode and see what it says, but still I
have impression it is some kind of memory leak.

PS: anybody counting days to when linus comes back? When it will be?
