	Sorry if one of these groups isn't the right one for this query, but I'm
not too clear on what the difference is.

	Christopher Schmidt recently sent us a version of TCP/IP to use under 
Koto2.0 to communicate with a Sun (3/280).  We have written a program, to be
used as a print daemon, which talks to the Sun every minute, checking for
new files in a spool directory.  The program seems to work correctly, but
when we leave this program running, within 2 days the 8MB and Vmem memory
indicators read completely full, and the machine grinds to a halt.

	We had a similar program that used PUP and did not suffer the same
problem.  Does anyone know if TCP leaves lots of garbage around, or why this
might be happening?
