We recently built Pine on our NCR system running SVR4 and the MetaWare
High C Compiler. The generated binary appears to work OK but we find that
over a period of days our memory utilization (sar -g) goes to heck. If
we reboot the system everything returns to normal. If we stop using Pine for
a couple of days we get no system performance deterioration. When we resume,
so does the degradation.
 
QED it seems that Pine is the culprit and our conclusion is that there must
be some kind of memory leak. Any ideas?
