Your mail worry me a little bit ...

Could you check that this server is well installed with BBWin 0.8 ?
there were a memory leak on the older BBWin releases but BBWin 0.8
should be ok.

Could you post your BBWin.cfg file and tell me what Windows version
are you using ?

Sometimes BBWin may need more memory when a lot of events logs are
send to the hobbit server.

On my test servers, I run BBWin with a timer of 5 seconds (so it
simulates many weeks of monitoring with a few days) for each agent so
I can check if memory is growing. It never goes over 7 Mb.

As Rich said, me be try some times to run without the perl externals
even if it should never take memory in the BBWin process itselft.
