I'm using a 386DX/33 with 4 MB RAM, running NetBSD 1.1, as a DNS server
and mail server.  Each morning I log in and do a pstat -T.  A week ago
after rebooting the machine it said 3M/63M.  Today it says 21M/63M, and
every day that number seems to rise.

I'm running popper, sendmail and named.  This machine normally isn't used
for anything else, and I can't imagine what should require 21 megabytes
of swap space.

Has anyone else ever encountered this problem?
