I have observed this too on a similar set up. I'm trying to isolate what may be triggering this so I wrote a node script that will trigger periodic core dumps once ram usage or rate of increase hits a certain threshold to see if we can figure what is possibly being leaked.
Right now I'm awaiting for the mem runaway to trigger, and I'm afraid that'll be a waiting game since I don't know what might be triggering it.
Is it always reproducible for you? Are you on a network or a single server? Have you noticed when it seems to trigger; perhaps after a user connects and sets a certain user mode?
When the runaway happens, I'll notice the leak is pretty rapid, 10 percentage points of increase in an hour so until I hit the machine cap

We have a small network, 2 main servers and also 3 servers for services. Not so much of activity. What i can tell is that with each day that passes the RAM consumed is more and more high.
Out of curiosity (and in an attempt to rule something out), what distro are you using? and what openssl library version do you have installed?

Thanks, that ruled out the wild goose I was chasing.
Does the increase in memory use happen immediately after you restart, or does it run for a while with very little, and then start to get bigger after some triggering event?
is growing little by little, for example 3 days ago RAM usage was 1.84 GB, now is 2.74GB
I`ve noticed that RAM increase is only on running servers where services are linked. Due to lots of net splits. Everytime a netsplit is taking place also ram increase is happening.
@ZioNeL Just to update you, I'm still waiting for my server to go into a mem-leak state. I have a system that monitors the RAM usage, and if it exceeds a certain threshold or increases too quickly, it generates memory dumps.
Sadly, since we don't know what triggers it, it's a waiting game.
