[asterisk-users] 1.4 memory leak?

[Steve Finkelstein]

With all due respect, I believe you might be a bit paranoid.

10-11M is quite normal for the linux kernel to allocate for asterisk.
It's not necessarily what the process is using, but that's just how
memory management works within the kernel.

What's 10-11M of RAM these days anyway?
