Well, I'd first suggest turning off spp_conversation and spp_portscan2 as a 
quick test to see if they are involved. These two are pretty memory hungry. 
They might not be your problem, but it's a very quick and easy to turn them 
off and see what happens.

I've got snort 2.0 running on an OpenBSD box with these two turned off (due 
to low-end hardware) and my memory use is relatively stable. In fact, it 
declined slightly between the two checks I made today (11am and 4pm).
