I've run test databases double that size without seeing any sort of leakage
like that.  How easily reproducable is that memory leakage? How long does
it take to get that big?  Do processes just constantly grow, or do
they grow and shrink?  One quick fix is to configure your apache to reap 
processes after a smaller number of connections. (How do you have it tuned
now?)
