Richard,

We've been running HSM v.2 on one of our AIX 4.1 SP2 nodes, and upgraded
last week to HSM v.3 when we upgraded the SP to AIX 4.2. We think
we've detected a memory leak, possibly related to the HSM kernel
extensions. The node has been crashing daily. Using 'sysdumpdev -e'
to look at the estimated dump size, we see that the size increases
significantly every 2 hours, when dsmreconcile runs.
