+### Please describe the problem.
+
+The assistant is using gruesome amounts of resident memory:
+
+<pre>
+USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
+www-data 23898 29.0 90.4 7842888 5536740 ?     Sl   Jun17 2810:08 /usr/lib/git-annex.linux/exe/git-annex --library-path /usr/lib/git-annex.linu
+</pre>
+
+I had to stop the assistant because it ended up using all memory.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Unclear. The assistant has been running for a while and there's a big tansfer (~800GB) of files in progress.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+5.20150610+gitg608172f-1~ndall+1 on Debian 7 Wheezy.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+[[!format sh """
+# If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here.
+# If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log
+
+
+# End of transcript or log.
