That's all good news!

The bbstored main process shouldn't grow at all. And since the child 
processes when something connects are just dumping files onto a disc, 
those shouldn't use much memory either.

How much memory are the bbackupd processes using?

I'm giving the raidfile stuff a good test, so it's good to have someone 
testing it in non-raidfile mode.
