Ok sadly that didn't seem to do much:

Can you show limits -H -d?

I rebooted, but still see my memory being chewed up. Almost
immediately after booting, one of my spamassassin processes spun out
of control. Here's the top with it eating 16 gigs of memory:
PID UID THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU
COMMAND
1611 1030 1 68 0 15062M 818M CPU2 2 0:44 20.65%
perl5.8.9
At this point, have your cd to a partition large enough to hold a
few 100
megs, and type:
ktrace -p 1611
where 1611 is the PID of the perl process. You may want to be a bit
earlier
then this point. After a few seconds, type ktrace -C. Then kdump|
less. There
should be plenty of allocations there (*alloc* functions).
I'll try to do this if I can catch it in the act. I've
mitigated the problem by turning off swap completely, which means my
system doesn't get bogged down but then it's less obvious when it's
happening. I do seem to be seeing a lot of other processes dying as
well:
pid 53393 (perl5.8.9), uid 1030, was killed: out of swap space
pid 53415 (sendmail), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
pid 53401 (imap-login), uid 143, was killed: out of swap space
pid 53400 (imap-login), uid 143, was killed: out of swap space
pid 53399 (imap-login), uid 143, was killed: out of swap space
pid 53417 (procmail), uid 1030, was killed: out of swap space
pid 47702 (sendmail), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
pid 53418 (perl5.8.9), uid 1030, was killed: out of swap space
pid 53416 (procmail), uid 1030, was killed: out of swap space
pid 971 (dovecot), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
This morning i had to restart many of my services. The mystery
continues.
