Allright, I think the stock kernel (+madwifi/nvidia) does not appear to
leak memory, although Mono does (or whatever mono is running)... it eats
Below is the output of running uptime immediately after free on two occasions.
The buffers, cached, and free memory numbers have decreased. Does this
indicate a leak? The machine is totally idle, I have had a single ssh
session open for all this time, no-one else has logged in, and it's not being
used for any server tasks apart from light DNS serving.
