I have a memory leak in scsi_cmd_cache.

does this happen without the binary nvidia driver too? (it appears
you're using that). That's a good datapoint to have if so...

I had the exact same nvidia driver with 2.6.12 (just recompiled) and it 
didn't happen there.

But just in case I used slabtop to watch scsi_cmd_cache grow by 1.24KB per 
second (104MB per day), then I rmmoded nvidia and watched it grow by 
1.16KB per 

please repeat this without nvidia ever being loaded. Just having a
module loaded before can already cause corruption that ripples through
later, so just unloading is not enough to get a clean result.

I see you also use vmware. The other person who reported this also uses
vmware. Could you please repeat the test without BOTH the nvidia and
vmware modules?
