This question is frequently asked. So far, I haven't seen any confirmed evidence of a memory leak. Rather, a couple of preprocessors, new to 1.9 and enabled in the snort.conf that ships with it, have a tendancy to grow large. In particular, I believe the usual suspects are conversation and portscan2. Try #-ing out the preprocessor lines for those two in snort.conf and see if your snort doesn't stay near its startup size. -Bennett
