I wasn't paying strict attention, but I didn't notice it growing, and
my machine wasn't swapping, so I doubt this is the problem.  If I

   "Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect
   liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to
   freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by
   evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in
   insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without
   understanding."  
	Justice Louis Brandeis, dissenting, Olmstead v US (1928)
