Looks good. Backups went fine, the director is at 2G of RAM again but
the fd that uses libumem is down to measly 11M :)

For everyone who wants to try this, I added the following lines at the
top of bacula-ctl-fd to make this work:

   LD_PRELOAD=libumem.so
   export LD_PRELOAD
   UMEM_OPTIONS=backend=mmap
   export UMEM_OPTIONS
