Squid2.1 Patch2 memory problem on Linux redhat 5.2

hi,

        I've just installed Squid2.1 PATCH2 on a Redhat Linux 5.2 and
    everything was installed ok. It is running now for about 8 hours and
    my problem is the memory available or free has dropped from
    94 mb to 2.2 mb as of this moment and I think is still dropping.
    This is according to the "top" program.

    Here is the output of my top program after it has been running for * hrs.

    Mem: 127716K av, 125408K used, 2308K free, 27588K shrd, 43164K buff
    Swap: 104384K av, 68K used, 104316K free 34076K cache

    I have a Pentium II 300 with 128 MB memory and 6.7 Gb hard disk
    cache_mem is set at 20 MB
    cache_swap is set at 3000 MB

    Is there something wrong with my installtion? Previously I have been using
    Squid2.1 PATCH1 on an SCO Openserver 5.02 on the same hardware and
    memory free has been stable at 25- 35 MB after running for a couple of weeks.

    Which is the best platform - SCO or Linux?
