Nope, I think there isn't. I thought there was too, and I saw the same
behaviour on all on my PM-4's. A quick glance at the 'show mem verb'
output tells you where it's all going.

It won't run out, rebooting is not needed, and will not actually
fix anything.

Note that this chunk is using ~5 MB of memory. As to exactly what
it is storing, I can't say ;) . I did call to report this already,
and was informed that it is normal, and it will not run the box out
of memory. For that matter, we were seeing problems in 4.0.3 where
RAD_ACCT_BUF ( the radius accounting info buffer ) would fill up and
lock the box solid. I've been told that the memory allocation/managment
in 4.1b15 is much smarter and won't blindly allocate memory until it's
gone.
I would definitely call support though, as they can probably tell you
a little more as to what all that memory is being used for. But it
is supposed to do what it's doing. Here's one of my boxes:
