The release notes from BSDI V2.1 indicate that a virtual memory
'leak' bug has been corrected. This could very well be your problem.
I'm running Gauntlet and the FWTK in multiple areas, and have found
the software itself to be reliable... problems I've encountered are
frequently with the hardware and/or O/S bugs, but those have been far
and few between... Getting ready to upgrade to Gauntlet 3.2, which I
hear has improved performance... so much for my very little and
sketchy feedback....
