Some more details below, sorry for the noise.

Here is the top output of "sh mem dead total":

   Dead Proc Summary for: Processor

       PC          Total  Name
   0x001FF434    1078452  acct periodic timer
   0x0078EF44        114  Virtual Exec
   0x0078EED8        114  Virtual Exec
   0x0078EEC0        114  Virtual Exec
   0x006D0AD8         79  TCP CB

Looks like "acct periodic timer" is indeed forgetting to tidy up it's
room lots of times. Any help is appreciated.

Thank
