hi,

There's a problem with memory fragmentation under glibc 
malloc().
https://bugs.torproject.org/flyspray/index.php?do=details&id=468&area=comments

The Openbsd malloc() function solved this issue from my 
point of view. On anonymizer.blutmagie.de the Tor process 
doesn't grow above 500MB any more.
