also lsmod shows strange things according to the ipsec module:

1 hour after a restart

Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
ipsec                 329664-70357

1 day after a restart
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
ipsec                 329664-9326112

i've set the rekeying interval to the default values but no
success (with the ram).
