Ah, you are fortunate: just a couple of days ago, someone was
posting about a problem they were having with 7.1 having a memory
leak, requiring them to reboot every few days.

Most discussions about Cisco PIX (and Cisco ASA and other Cisco
security software or devices) takes place in comp.dcom.sys.cisco .

Do you have your access-lists set to be "compiled" ? If so then
that takes a lot of memory.
