I mentioned this earlier, but I have been seeing the very large increases
in process size with Bind 9.9.5-P1 and 9.9.6b1. I have just installed
9.10.1rc2 on one of our secondary name servers. In time I will be able
to see if 9.10.1rc2 shows a bigger increase in process size than 9.9.5-P1
did. I have restarted 9.9.6b1 with max-cache-size 30M on our primary
server. Both experiments will take some time before I can tell what
is happening.
