I would suspect a memory leak. Your system will use up all its memory for a while, then use up the virtual memory (swap space) which slows things down by using the hard drive. Eventually it will use up all memory and virtual memory, causing a lockup eventually.
ps aux | grep pd can give you some good info on memory usage. Profilers like valgrind might help you to identify memory leaks too, I think.

Hey all,
Anyhow have an abstraction laying around that gives the current CPU load? I'm trying to track down a freeze in my long term installation, and so far I have no indication of why it froze. Perhaps an ever increasing CPU load could give me a suspect...
Thanks, B. Bogart
