Is this an embedded device with little memory? eg 16mb or 32mb?

The OOM killer might be killing the biggest memory consumer, which
not neccessarilly means that process is the one leaking memory. 
unbound might be running stable at just over 8mb, and some other
process might be slowly allocating more memory over time, but still
end up using a smaller memory footprint, for which unbound takes the
blame (and the shot)
