Its been about 3d 10h of uptime now, and its been boringly stable.  Darn it.

Memory usage ack to htop has about doubled (to 828 megs from 385 or so 
originally), and its 24MB into swap, so I'd assume there is a small leak 
somewhere.  At this rate it will take weeks to trigger this again.

I've now built 2.6.31-rc3 with pretty much the same options re: memory, and 
will probably reboot to it in the morning as its approaching the witching hour 
here.  Any objections?
