I have over 20 boxes running 1.2.8 and 1.2.11 but never experienced the
same. I use them for openvpn termination though.

maybe procinfo?

it is (re)spawned by the init:

# grep proc /etc/inittab
8:2345:respawn:env - TERM=linux /bin/procinfo -f -F /dev/tty8

AFAIK VM kills the process that uses the maximum RSS (the non-swapped
physical memory that the process used). Look for any memleaking
ever-growing process during normal operation.

Good luck,
