Hi Steve,
I've installed the latest audit package and it seems to be exactly  
the same.  Overnight:
size-32           208310 208369     32  119    1 : tunables  120    
60    8 : slabdata   1751   1751      0
[sysadmin@blah ~]$ rpm -q audit
audit-1.0.15-1.fc4
I've cut down the rules to a single watch on the /etc directory (I  
realise that this only watches the directory and not the files in it).
No rules
AUDIT_WATCH_LIST: dev=9:1, path=/etc, filterkey=ETC, perms=w, valid=0
Every access to /etc seems to add to the size-32 objects and never  
releases them.
Any other suggestions?
Simon.

 Hmm...that would seem to point to the audit daemon. I posted the  
 code for the
 1.0.15 audit package here:
 
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit/audit-1.0.15-1.fc4.src.rpm
 Maybe you want to build that and give it a try? I'd be curious if  
 you see a
 leak in that version. It does have some cleanups, but nothing I  
 recall as
 fixing a memory leak.
