After making commands: service bird restart free I see that nearly 50 Mb of free memory appeared. Strange isn`t it. So I wait a couple of days to check one more time. Today I see following: ## my main router (rh9,p3-600,bird-1.0.7-1) [root@relay root]# ps aux |grep bird root 15263 0.0 3.1 19636 16416 ?

S 09:50 0:00 bird Here i see quite the contrary result. 1.0.9 version is stable and does not grown in memory. :\ Of course I`ve tried to see something in "dump resources" command, but it shows nothing. So I`m interesting about the reason of growing memory allocated for bird. Truly Yours Oleg Loschyov.
