    pvestatd leak creates 3000+ processes, consumes all RAM & SWAP, and halts/reboots machine over a 4 hour cycle. Then repeats.

    This has occurred from the later PVE 6.1 updates (I think) and definitely all throughout PVE 6.2 (including 6.2-12) since about March 2020. Prior to this the system was rock-solid for about 1.5 years. Normal operation is ~10-12Gig usage (of 32G total). See attached picture for the cycle...
