Unusual high memory consumption in gnatsd.

After normal usage during a day (using LSUB, CATG, STAT, 
CONF, etc), leaves the gnatsd with at memory consumption
of approx. 20-60 MB. Is this to be expected?
>How-To-Repeat:
Telnet to gnatsd (spawend from inetd). 
Let i run for min. 8 hours using commands like LSUB, CATG, 
STAT, etc.
Monitor the memory usage.
