Hiya - I'm running into a bit of an out of memory issue on a server 
here - and I noticed a process 'minilogd' is taking up loads of 
memory.... but I have no idea what it is other than it's part of the 
initscripts package, and it verifys ok when checked against the rpm 
database - so I'm reasonably confident that it's a kosher process - 
just wondering why it's running off and chewing up so much memory... 
and would it be safe to just kill it - specially since it's just 
'sleeping'...?

thanks in advance for any pointers!

- dan.
