[SLL] Memory Leak Evidence from free, prompted by apache application use, but not cleared by apache restart

[Xeno Campanoli]

I have an apache analysis application that is using lots of memory, but 
when I bring apache down, the memory usage registered in free does not 
go down by the amount it went up from the application.  Is there a 
kernel memory leak like this?  Seems pretty unlikely.  My uname -a is:

> Linux someinternalhostname 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 19:57:35 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
