We did have experience some problems early this year with memory 
problems which we thought were related to a memory-leak in a particular 
version of mod-python (v3.1.4):

Soon after that we upgraded to a later mod-python version (v3.2) and the 
issues went away. Recently we've been running the latest release of 
KForge for some time without any problems.
