Please take an output of "show task memory detail" at periodic 
intervals... (e.g. each day or 12 hours). And please provide those files 
to J-TAC.

snmp information is not going to provide enought detail to diagnose the 
information...

By comparing the samples J-TAC should probably be able to diagnose the 
issue.

If you want to take a look at these yourself, the included script may 
help in comparing different samples.
