I wouldn't mind joining the test as well. I've several 4,000+ active
account systems that seem to be suffering from the "vanishing memory act".
I like to give general purpose systems LOTS of memory so it hasn't
impacted operations as yet. :-)

Operationally, I'm more concerned about the newsservers I just upgraded
from 29 to 32. They don't have ANY memory to spare, esp. the reader
machines (running INN as opposed to Diablo).
