Hi,

I have been getting this error message on my FreeBSD 3.3 system:

swap_pager: Out of Swap space. After digging a little bit, we found that
there is a lot of memory leakage happening. This is how we went about
finding:

ps -aux for the process showed that vsz column was increasing very
fast. But the rss column was almost stable( was not changing much).

pstat -S also showed drastic fall in available swap space. 

My question is what could be the reason for this drastic increase in vsz
column of ps -aux output? Is it because of unfreed malloced memory? Why
rss is stable? Somebody could help me when will the vsz(virtual
size) increases?

thanks a lot
