max-cache-size problem

[Henley SARAMANDIF (infopro)]

Hello,

Based on the same system crash that has been mention into the post : BIND 9.3.2 Memory Leak... I've set the option max-cache-size for my DNS. As for me this limitation does not seem to work.

I run a Bind 9.2.3 into a jail on a FreeBSD 4.9.

I've set a max-cache-size 262144000 (250MO) for testing purposes..but I got this memory use for Bind : 

PID USERNAME    PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
4548 bind         2   0   292M   291M poll   0 181:41 11.87% 11.87% named

And it still goes up...till 425 MO and Bind Crash!!!
Please note that this configuration has been work very well for more than 1 year.
This matter start after a power supply problem..
