Significant memory usage

I don't see anything wrong with the memory in the attached file - 13MB doesn't seem to be causing any havoc.

And it roughly matches what I am seeing here with fresh named instance on 64-bit machine:

$ smem -P name[d]
  PID User     Command                         Swap      USS      PSS      RSS
61387 ondrej   /home/ondrej/Projects/bind9        0     9684    11944    18628

Can you send one when you think there's a runaway memory problem? Because this one seems to be sane:
