Okay :)

Possible yes, but that would be very strange. Do you see memory usage go
up over time gradually, or in giant chunks?

Nothing I can think of. You can try to run things under valgrind I guess
and see?

ipsec _stackmanager start
valgrind /usr/libexec/ipsec/pluto --config /etc/ipsec.conf --nofork

Pssobly when you hit ctrl-c valgrind will give some data?
