In a recent blog post, Gandi aknowledged that the system has memory
issues:

"In addition, if your server only has one share, we have corrected a
minor problem of excessive memory usage. To fix this, you only need to
reboot your server."

In my experience, this is not the case. I started tracking this when the
below appeared on my 1 share server with Gandi AI. The server was at
that point only a web server, no mail, and was basically dormant with
regards to traffic:

#15.06.2008
#              total       used       free     shared    buffers    
cached
# Mem:           356        211        144          0         67        
53
# -/+ buffers/cache:         90        265
# Swap:          619          0        619

I mysteriously gained some RAM when the 1-share limit was almost eaten
up. I have since upgraded this server 2 shares and put a site on there
that generates a modest amount of traffic. Still no mail, only a web
server. The results below show that the server incrementally eats around
a MB or so of RAM per hour:

Running "top" at all these instances show almost identical results with
very low resource usage. I would be curious if other users of the
platform, especially people with more shares, are seeing similar results
and if Gandi perhaps has some input on the situation. I realize of
course that memory usage usually increases over time and that a reboot
resets the counter, but this appears to be more of a flood than a leak.
