Hello,
I have checked the bug toolkit, but there is nothing in there that applies to this version (12.1(14)EA1). Can you post the output of:
show memory allocating-process totals
show memory summary
I guess Cisco would recommend to upgrade the IOS; here is what their documentation says:
This is a Cisco Internet Operating System (IOS) bug, it is recommended to upgrade to the next higher version. If this doesn't solve the problem, or if you don't want to upgrade the router, enter the show processes memory command at regular intervals over a period of time (for example, every few hours or days depending on whether you have a fast or slow leak). Check to see if free memory continues to decrease and is never returned. The rate at which free memory disappears depends on how often the event occurs that leads to the leak. Since the memory is never freed, you can track the process that is using the memory by taking memory snapshots over time. Keep in mind that different processes allocate and de-allocate memory as needed, so you will see differences, but as the leak continues, you should see one process that is continually consuming more memory (Note: it is normal for some processes, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) router, to use more than one megabyte of memory; this does not mean they are leaking).
Regards,
GP
