[Kurt Jaeger]

Hi!

> During the month, everything has been working fine, but the previouse week the error on one of the firewalls occured.:

Some process on your system has allocated all memory. It might
have been the racoon process, but maybe something else. So check
what happened on that system before the memory was eaten.

Have you updated to the most recent version ? There is a memory
exhaustion security problem, see:
