[Gluster-devel] GlusterFS Process Growing

Is there any reason why the GlusterFS process would grow over time if no 
performance translators are used? I'm seeing the GlusterFS process go 
from about 2.5MB when it starts, up to hundreds of MB. At least 
initially, the growth seems to be between 4 and 8KB/s. After a few days 
it seems to crash out. Again this is the rootfs gluster process, so a 
bit hard to debug in detail seen as it is the rootfs that goes away at 
this point. Is this a memory leak, or is there a more reasonable 
explanation?
