How are you mesuring the memory loss? Could be that there is some kind
leak... but would
be interesting to see if the memory is associated with a process or if
it's the kernel.

Look in the source for tomcat (something like src/native/apache...).
Building is not particularly trivial.
Things may have changed quite a bit for version 4 also (there's now the
webapp method vs. using mod_jk...
though I hear that mod_jk works for more folks than does webapp).
There is some documentation on the apache jakarta website, but sometimes
it's not in the most
intutitive places (they have a search pane though).
HTH,
