two problems (memory-eating and unimpl. system calls)

[Nagy Attila <bra@malacka.eik.bme.hu>]

Hello.

I've got debian potato (apt upgraded from an early hamm, or slink
distribution came out in the summer of this year)
So the porblem is:
Today morning i found the machine (sparcstation 5, 64 megs of RAM, 128
megs of swap) running out of memory (swap+RAM).
It runs 2.0.36 kernel and the most recent .debs from ftp1.us.debian.org.
The question:
How can i find out what process eated the whole memory?
how can i stop this kind of problems, and finally how can i do an
efficient watchdog for my system?
I saw that sparc's prom contains a watchdog variable, but how is this
works?

The second problem:
When i upgraded glibc to the 100 snapshot the unimplemented sparc system
calls appeared again (.33 kernel and the 85 snapshot did this too, but he
.35 kernel stopped them...)

What can i do?
on vger.rutgers.edu there is only a NOT-YET .36 kernel, which produces
this errors too :(


Thanks a lot!
