TMM - CHMAND Memory Leak (VIRT/RES)

Hi,

Late last year, we encountered an issue where an F5 had rebooted and we were able to track down the following log entry --- HA proc_running tmm fails action is go offline and down links.

According to sol12941 which seems to be a known issue for this (memory leak), the chmand process is allocated approximately 50MB of memory after a restart or reboot. Logging back into the device, the chmand memory allocation is currently set to 296m(RES)

Is it normal to have the RES memory allocation increase the way it is now, beyond 50MB? At what levels should alarm bells start ringing regarding the memory being allocated to chmand (RES/VIRT)?

Thanks,
