Re: Kannel memory leak?

Nope. Regular ufs. In any case bearerbox's memory was increasing and 
accounting for all missing RAM, not some kind of cache. As I mentioned after 
consuming all available physical RAM bearerbox started eating up the swap as 
well. This is not the way of file caches :-).

BR,
