Robin, All:

Here are the graphs for a run of all scan policies (OldScan + new scan.bro,
scan_udp.bro, scan_icmp.bro) from a run on a freebsd 9.1 box for
approximate 3 day duration.

Memory footprint continues to grow but I have noticed on other systems that
memory flattens out around 11G range (after 9 day uninterrupted run).

CPU is surprisingly  low at on this host. (Attached graph). However on
other boxes I have seen CPU being high as time progresses.

It seems to me that scan_udp fix is probably working looking at this one
data point. I will enable these on other DMZ boxes and lets see if we see
same results.

> These triggers then cause high CPU load. We had a fix already but I'm not sure if it has been confirmed that it solved the problem?
