So I`ve decide to check this. 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)

so in 2 days of uptime it grows up to 16 mb
OK, the BIRD versions before 1.0.8 have memory leak.
## another router in the same network segment ## (AltLinux Master 2.2, celeron 1,1 Ghz,bird-1.0.9-1) [root@xp report]# ps -aux |grep bird root 18329 0.0 0.1 1676 820 ?

Here i see quite the contrary result. 1.0.9 version is stable and does not grown in memory. :\
1.0.9 has many bugfixes. So I think, this is a proof.
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.
