    LambdaMOO's process size grew to 450mb from an initial startup size of
    330mb in about a week.  It could well be that a user caused this by
    creating large transient objects or large numbers of forks.  (We have
    invoked $server_options.queued_task_limit, however we have set this
    limit fairly large, as it is not our intent to limit users, only to
    prevent actual forkbombs.)  However, there is also the possibility
    that there is a memory leak.  I'm now recording process size every
    four hours, in the hopes of determining which of the two possibilities
    is the cause.

    Has anyone else noticed any anomalous process size increases
    associated with 1.7.9p2?
