 I see a directory authority dying on out-of-memory. It's running
 0.2.4.18-rc. This happened after it had been running for about a week. It
 died shortly after publishing a consensus, at hh:01:40 with a 'Out of
 memory on malloc(). Dying.'

 Plotting RSS every 10 minutes the last couple of hours shows this:

 I'll collect more data and also try to get date and time of the data
 points.
