It's probably worth mentioning that I saw similar behavior on my 
low-traffic personal DJabberd server once, about a month ago. My machine 
started thrashing and I found that DJabberd was using far too much CPU 
and RAM; I killed it and restarted it and it's been fine since. I never 
got a chance to debug it.

My server was and still is on svn revision 732.
