Strange memory leak

Just thought I'd give an update on this as it seems we've got a working
system now after mounting the A1000 drives as regular file systems and
using file-based cycbuffers.  Memory use is now stable and the dreaded
kernel leak has not returned.

Incidentally, I can now get Cleanfeed working properly, whereas
previously it would bring the system to a grinding halt within 10
minutes of enabling filtering.

Thanks for the help Russ!

Regards,
Andrew
