I was reading an unrelated post today that refered to http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89226. This bug discusses some memory management issues with RedHat 9. One of the post seemed to indicate that this problem was fixed in Fedora; however, some of the problem descriptions reminded me of this thread. It might be something to look at.
