I have a patch to let dictd run from inetd, so it is only launched when
a client connects, serivces one lookup, and dies. This will of course be
slower, but won't tie up memory and swap. I've been using it for a while
and it works fine and is acceptably fast on a PII. The patch should be
getting in

This is not true. There is no reason an end-user should not run
dictd, and many reasons why it can be desirable.

Hello,
I have dictd 1.5.5-4 running on my System (Dual-PII-400), and it seems
that though rarely used, it is the nastiest one concerning memory usage.
Is there any reason for that? Shouldn't it be swapped out if unused?!
Here's what top gives me after switching to "sort by memory usage" view:
