[rhelv6-list] Kernel memory leak?

[robinprice at gmail.com]

I'll check around, but I haven't heard anything about RHEL6 and a
memory leak issue.  Then again, I am using RHEL6.1 , but looking
around BZ and kbase, I can't find anything.

It doesn't sound more like a [1] "Linux ate my RAM" issue more than anything.

The following kbase is a nice overview to give you a better idea.
