This seriously sounds like a resource hogging issue.

It's usualy caused by loops that never return, or return late, code that does too much before returning (IE, what it's doing is fine, it just goes about it's job too much), there is a failure to cleanup data.

First thing to do, list all Tcl scripts in use.

If any are home-made, or located from a location other than egghelp.org, then upload it to some publicly accessable space, and paste links.

Try unloading data collection scripts. These include seen, flood protection and many others that need to handle large amounts of data to function.

I will point out,t he main culprit of this sort fo thing, is scripts that download files from the internet. These include search scripts, file proxy scripts and so on.

Or anything that uses exec .. if the other program that is execed stalls or doesnt return, then this happens (as I found out the hard way)
