Bug description:
  I have a 12.04 server running for 7 days and today I noticed some things started to be swapped out.
  top shows:
    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND                                                                           
   1975 whoopsie  20   0 2649m 1.4g  484 S    0 18.5  14:05.67 whoopsie  
  with 1.4g residential memory. 

  There were 2 crashed applications, facter with .crash file is 2.8Mb and landscape-sysinfo of 17K so it does not look like it is related.
  I will keep the process running in case i can provide more information and will monitor the process to see whether it is leaking memory.
