decimation: I saw that around ~260k blocks that my version of bitcoind was taking up nearly 1gig in memory (linux is not exactly precise with memory accounting)
asciilifeform: and that the most catastropic memory leak, which devours arbitrarily large system in hours, is only triggered full-throttle upon wedging;
asciilifeform: and, finally, that memory also leaks if bitcoind is loading blocks the usual way, rather than from a tame box with fully loaded blockchain ('connect' option)
