8.3 Memory Leak

Hi,

After a binary update to 8.3 i'm seeing wired memory increase steadily 
over the course of about a week, after which point i need to reboot the 
machine as it starts swapping.
Several other boxes were updated at the same time, and all ports rebuilt 
post upgrade.

FreeBSD x.x.com 8.3-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Jun 12 
00:39:29 UTC 2012 
root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

I have cleanly stopped and restarted all userland applications, but only 
a reboot resets the wired memory levels.

Services:
         smtp, named, apache, java server.

The java server ( Wowza) is the most obvious culprit, but this was a 
binary install of both wowza and the JVM,

diablo-jdk-1.6.0.07.02_19           =   up-to-date with index

Any hints/tips?

thanks
Paul.
