Ah, that makes sense. Yes, we want to do historical stats at some point, 
but we don't now.

Thanks. Looking at the logs for the previous run I now see that the 
process within mgmt that actually keeps track of memory use crashed at 
around this point, so it's possible that mgmt is no longer reporting the 
memory use accurately. So that's a bug.

Anyway, I think I now have enough information to make a better go of 
replicating this, which I'll do tomorrow. Thanks for the information.

Cheers, Simon
