In my mail I clearly mentioned the type of messages that it was given.
If it reached the stage to reboot the system, even I am unable to use any
of the commands. After starting the sytem it is not using the swap, after
5 to 6 days sometimes it uses the swap memory considerably.

It is very clear that there will be memory leak, if I unable to execute
any of the commands, there is no chance to execute top also.
Is there any patches, or which kernel version is known to free of
memory leaks as of now on Redhat 6.1
