I have a 2gig flash card installed, so is no issue.

I am just trying to figure out if its a software issue/bug causing this or its just the number of routes i have.

Hi Brendan

How many routes etc do you have   ?
The memory sounds a bit high utilised to me, if it stays at 91%.

There are many bug fixes from 9.1 to 9.5, of course, if you have a 1G 
flash card (or no flash card) then you can upgrade anyway ... the memory 
should not max out.

Typically the RE should be about 5% utilised, if the routes are stable

cheers
