[bf1942] Proof of a memory leak?

[Killing]

That it may but 140MB is not a huge amount in the slightest. If your machine
is killing process @ this size its an issue on your machine not the application.
You might want to look @ what kernel you are running and if it has any know issue
for ages Linux 2.4 kernel's / net drivers where buggy as hell and leaked like a sieve.
One check that seems to identify this is increasing allocations to buffer allocation
under vmstat.
Also what's the spec on your machine and swap available?

I'm sorry to say I can't agree with you. As you might have seen the graph 
visualises one crash of the BF server process due to excessive memory use 
(at least that is what my kernel messages tell me). Problem is that the 
resolution of one minute is too small to see an excessive memory 
increasement in a short time, so this is still possible.
