Hi,
I have firebird 1.5.1 SS on a custom built linux kernel using Red Hat
9 without NPTL support. When firbird is started, its memory use shown
in the top is very low. But it continously keeps increasing and goes
upto 500MB and even more. Then a point comes, when it stops
responding and need to be restarted.

Here is top command output:
