Running on embedded hardware

[Jan Luehr]

Hello,

I'm trying to run a tor client on my router in order anomyise my network.
- System is: Asus WL-500G (32MB Ram)
- OS is: OpenWRT whiterussian (Linux: 2.4.30)
- tor is v0.1.2.18 self-built, 'cause whiterussian tor binanries are a little 
bit out-dated ;) libraries:
	libz.so.1.2.2
	libssl.so.0.9.8
	libcrypto.so.0.9.8
	libpthread-0.9.27.so
	libdl-0.9.27.so
	libevent-1.3e.so.1.0.3
	libuClibc-0.9.27.so
	libgcc_s.so.1
	ld-uClibc-0.9.27.so

Sadly, tor is quite instable and crashes a lot. Furthermore it has come to my 
attention that tor consumes a lot of ram (and tmp - ramdisk - space), since 
the amount of available ram was down to 600KB when I was surfing by tor.
(Tor can use up to 15 MB - for ~./tor caches and runnig (ram))

I built tor with ./configure --prefix=/opt/tor -with-libevent-dir 
(...) --with-ssl-dir (...) 

Does it look like tor is runnig out-of-ram? 
Are there any special options compile/runtime to run? E.g. in order to limit 
consumed ram / cache-size, etc.?
stracing tor gave me:
