freebsd 6 - amount of total visible memory is decreasing constantly

[Ilya E Veretenkin]

Problem: Total amount of visible memory is decreasing constantly
(total amount = sum of all memory fields in 'top' utility output'
OS: FreeBSD 6
Server: 2xAmd64bit, 4GB memory, tyan motherboard

hw.physmem: 3478589440
hw.realmem: 3488743424
These values don't change in time.

Just after server reboot, the sum of memory fields in 'top' utility output is
3405M(this is correct). But this sum(i.e. total visible memory for OS)
is decreasing in time, according to top's output. After all, server
begins to swap and needs to be rebooted again.

Here goes monitoring log. It was created by hand-written perl script,
which is called every minute and which summarizes 'top' utility's 6
memory fields. Total memory is in the second column in the following

(+-2 megabyte fluctiations here is a result of rounding)

As you can see, memory which was visible using top utility decreased
from 3224 to 3195 Megabytes in less than 2 hours. And this process
will continue to the point, where swapping begins.
Server during this monitoring was running MySql4 + Apache1.3 under heavy
load.

How to get rid of such memory loss? And what is the reason of such
memory loss?
