A little bit more on-topic:
We are running a mta-server on linux since 2011 and we had all funny memory side effects, even crashes of the 32bit version.
Since we have changed to the 64bit version on linux, we are tracking our uptime more than the memory in case of the "49 days uptime bugs" (some of them are fixed but not all, I think).
I'm a little statistics freak, so we graph our memory consumtion and player counts of the mta-server process, so just for fun I provide the memory stats and player counts for the last 4 weeks:
Player counts:
related to memory consumption:
The green graph is VSZ (Virtual Memory Size) and the blue line is RSS (Resident Set Size). The server machine has 32GB RAM.
As an example, the server was crashing at week 06 without any dump (we know about out of memory crashing from 32bit versions, mostly, there are no dumps) - We changed at week 06 to r7069 after the crash, but actually, this version uses much more memory ans it's still running.
The slightly decreasing of memory use at week 08 was without restarting anything. It has just happened without any reason
Also, we had a v1.4-release-6892 64 bit server (for me, it was the stablest version from the sight of the memory consumption) running for more than 49 days without any memory problems.
