[Bro] out of memory after a couple days?

[Gary Faulkner]

It seems like oom-killer got invoked on one host and then then 2 minutes 
later on another host in my cluster. The load-balancer should be sending 
each host unique traffic at any given moment. Only 3 workers out of 
around 40 got killed, but then 3 of my proxies crashed. Cooincidentally 
as I was writing this I just ran out of RAM again after 24 hours of 
operations.

Traffic would have been at an ebb on the 16th, and rising on the 29th, so I don’t think it’s sheer volume - as you say, there must be something *in* the traffic. Or more likely, a sequence of things, otherwise I expect 2.2 would be vomiting all over my RAM far more often.
