	I'm happy that other people find my web page useful ;-)

	/proc/slabinfo will tell you where the kernel memory is
used. Of course, 'skbuff_head_cache' is the most interesting in our
case.
	As far as memory leaks are concerned :
		o Core IrDA stack : only the state machines need
fixing (same fix as above), and I'm sure there are occasional
leaks. The rest has been checked.
		o IrCOMM : unknown, would need an audit.
		o driver : most of them are OK.
	If you were to send a path appplying the fix above to all
states of all state machines, I would be happy ;-)

	Have fun...
