Postgres grows in RAM

Hi,

We started a postgres process on a 24x7 app.
We never brought postmaster down for several days and it has been serving
million requests.
As time wears on what was occupying 3 MB in RAM is now 30 MB RAM and is
still growing.
We are using pg 6.5.1 on RH 6.1.

What do we have to do to stop this monster from growing without killing and
restarting it.

Thanks for any help,

Murali
