Just for kicks, try HUPping it after you changed the config file to
write everything to a file host/program/year.month.day

I bet it starts eating your CPU and RAM until your computer explodes ;)

But we'll see over the next few days...also it HUPs each night when the
rotation occurs, so perhaps that does a lot of freeing and we'll get
some stable behavior.
