Test cluster with 2 machines running 1.4.8 with the memory backend. app_config has ring_creation_size 64, max_memory 4. If I understand the documentation correctly this should result in a maximum memory footprint (minus overhead) of 256M. Each node has 2G RAM, 2G of swap. After running for a while constantly adding data, without ever explicitly removing any, the memory footprint outstrips physical ram and will eventually consume all available swap space and be killed.

Is this a known issue in 1.4.8 that's fixed in 1.4.9, or is there other configuration settings that need adjusted to reduce the footprint?

Initially I had set it up to top out at 1GB but when it started exhausting swap, I progressively reduced max_memory until I arrived where I am now, with no difference at all.
