nice to know ;-> At least you can protect some apps if you need to.
Only racoon and quagga are important for me.
But what happens then if you have a beast that just chews memory

My plan was just to write a simple daemon that uses the genetlink API
that Shailabh (IBM) and company wrote and just restart the app if i see
it disappear.
