[nsp] Router crashing

I have a client that has 4700M that he is using for a DSL connection with
a NAT block behind it...

The router is running c4500-jk9s-mz.122-7b.bin it was previously running
c4500-ik9s-mz.122-6c.bin with the same symptom though.

Now all is fine *unless* someone in his NOC runs a gnuttella client -
after a while the (a few hours) it seems that the router starts running
low on resources. It looks to me like a memory issue - the router only
has 16M. Since it is behind a NAT block none of the return gnuttella
connections to I believe port 6346 are making it through.

This is what I am seeing in the logs:

Apr 19 05:46:18 gw 66: Apr 19 09:46:21.187: %SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL: Memory
allocation of 32768 bytes failed from 0x603A9F44, alignment 0

I'm also seeing alot of '%AAAA-3-DROPACCTLOWMEM' type stuff right from the
et go - though it may or may not be related.

What concerned me was the fact that I was getting a 'Traceback' message.

Any help is appreciated...
