Hello,

I fully understand this. And, I have tried running squid for several weeks
at 8MB and 16MB of cache_mem with the same effect. I believe it may have to
do perhaps with a leak in the wccp.o module or delay pools, however I don't
have the knowledge to test these theories.

No matter how much RAM I put in the machine, I will have swap growth. The
"FREE" RAM drops down to about 7-8 MB, and will move back up to about 10Mb
and add a few megs to the paged RAM. The machine yo-yos between 6 and 10Mb
of free RAM, and as it goes back up, so does the swap.

Ron
