[Dnsmasq-discuss] hogging RAM

[cb at lim.nl]

Hi all, 

I'm running dnsmasq on a 128MB VPS server running debian 7 which I have
set up primarily as a VPN. I've configured it with an adblock list from
yoyo.org that I update once a week. 

For some reason, dnsmasq is currently using abnormal amount of memory: 

PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S  %CPU %MEM  TIME+ COMMAND        
                                                                        
            
 2386 dnsmasq   20   0  132m  79m    0 S   0,0 61,8   0:01.42 dnsmasq   


It is crashing periodically, and apparently caused the VPS itself to
crash last night. 

Any thoughts about what might be going on here? 

/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --version
Dnsmasq version 2.62 

$ uname -a
Linux vera 2.6.32-042stab113.11 #1 SMP Fri Dec 18 17:32:04 MSK 2015
x86_64 GNU/Linux 

Thanks
