Well can you prove it's a memory leak? If so, you should be
complaining very loudly to Sun support. The rapid growth in the size
of the process suggests a memory leak, but it is possible for name
servers to get that big that quickly if they service many thousands of
resolvers.

I don't know. If you don't want to buy Sun's compiler, you can always
use gcc. A search engine should be able to find web sites that provide
precompiled binaries of gcc.
