Yeah. It's a bit of a mystery... Dropping back to kernel 2.6.11.3 seems
to fix it. or at least slow it up.. It sits around 20MB. 

In addition however the later kernels (Which run out of vmalloc space)
also show

which goes on & on & on after resuming from standby... I didn't manage
to find many hits for this either.Other than a couple of other people
whith it, but no resolution (When I looked. Must look again).
