Comment (by starlight):

 I generally think nothing of it, but a possible unique element here is I
 monitor the daemon from another system using Vidalia.  Could be that when
 Vidalia performs its periodic, inefficient view refresh and the daemon is
 under high load it leaks memory.  I see 0.3.2.8-rc went from 800MB to
 1.3GB today (queue-max 1GB).  If the image continues to grow I'll look for
 bump-ups during refresh events.  Determine if turning off Vidalia halts
 growth.  Till recently would log up-times on the order of six-to-eight
 months, no problems at all.
