[squid-users] Memory Leak problem ? FreeBSD

Since implementing Squid 2.4-Stable6 I've noticed the available memory (as
seen in "top") on the server machine has decreased progressively over the
past 24-48 hours, such that the machine that once had 400mb spare now has
only 70mb (and decreasing). Restarting Squid doesn't release this memory,
only a reboot would do it.

Running FreeBSD4.4-RELEASE
Apache 1.3.22
Mod_Perl 1.26
Perl 5.6
Squid 2.4-Stable6 (NOT compiled with "--enable-snmp")

top yields:

60571 nobody 2 0 8380K 7756K poll 0 1:53 1.37% 1.37% squid

netstat -mb yields:

70/320/16384 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
        70 mbufs allocated to data
69/274/4096 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
628 Kbytes allocated to network (5% of mb_map in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines

Is there anyway I can find where the memory has gone, or where the machine
thinks it is (to prove/disprove it's a Squid problem)
