I fail to see why this would be a unix memory leak. I think it is a scheduler
leak. The scheduler should take care of releasing memory it dos not need
anymore. How should unix know if the scheduler did not release unneede memory
(unless the scheduler quits).

Anyway, we had a problem that the scheduler started looping and took
100% cpu after a couple of days. IBM support advised us to use
the managed services setup andthings run fine with it for over a month
now.
