This seems to be related to an issue we encountered with the net-snmp libraries.
Both the snmp lib and daemon have several memory leaking fixes in version 5.4.1 Related parts from changelog [1]: snmplib: - [PATCH 1616912]: fix memory leak in UDP transport code - [PATCH 1592706]: fix memory leak when cloning varbinds snmpd: - [BUG 1558823]: fix ipAddressTable memory leak - [BUG 1596638]: fix memory leak in ipCidrRouteTable, inetCidrRouteTable - [BUG 1611524]: fix tcp connection table file descriptor leak Possible solution is updating to this version manually, upgrading to Hardy (which has the new version), or waiting for an upgraded version in repository.
