memory consumption in ns

[connors@isl.hrl.hac.com (Dennis Connors - Intern)]

Hello,


I am using ns to simulate a trace driven video connection.  I am
using the "Heap" scheduler.  As the simulation progresses it
consumes swap memory until it runs out and dies.  It gives the
message "Virtual Memory exceeded in 'new' ".  My ns modifications
free all packets that they generate.  I am getting the packet
interarrival times from a trace file using the "Traffic/Trace"
object.  Does anyone know what could cause the swap memory to
continually decrease as the simulation progresses?
