[c-nsp] Cisco 3640 Memory leak problem

periodically (like once a day, depending how fast the leak is) poll
"show proc mem" and check out which process' memory consumption
increases over time ("show proc mem sorted" sorts the output by
allocated mem).. If you have identified the process which leaks, gather
"show proc mem <pid>" periodically (where <pid> is the process id shown
in the first column of show proc mem) and give this info to TAC for
further analysis.. Alternative ways of troubleshooting this can be found
