Hi there

I have installed RH 5.0 on a 233 Pentium MMX with 80MB of RAM. For the
moment I'm only running the bind (4.9.6-REL) that came with RH5.0. When I
boot the machine it shows me that approx. 16MB are being used.
After a short period (1-4 hours) it will show me that 60MB being used, but
named shows only about 6MB of usage.

Here is a print out of the top command:

I had this same configuration running on a 486/66 with 32MB of RAM and bind
easily would go up to 15-20MB shown in the TOP command.

What is using up all the 60MB of RAM? After another period of time bind
will not be running anymore with no core dump and no error message in any
logfile.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion/help or I might have to switch it back
to the 486 machine.

Greetings

Serge
