Your comment does not tell us what shell you are using.
So.. What shell do you use?

i (ssh'ed in) use ash /bin/ash -> busybox
script uses /bin/sh -> busybox
if this isnt what you mean could you be more specific?

There is no "/bin/sh" shell. Do ls -l /bin/sh, and you will see that it is most likely a symlink. If it is a symlink to (for example) msh - bingo, you are using msh. If it is a symlink to /whatever/busybox, look into your busybox .config file. If you see (for example):

CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_IS_LASH=y

then "sh" is actually lash in your busybox.

like i said /bin/sh -> busybox
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 7 17:05 /bin/sh -> busybox

but yeah didnt know you ment the config. as you can see its ash
#

CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_IS_ASH=y

I run this script under current svn's ash:

#!/bin/sh
VPNlist="storelist" #tunnel list
while :; do
        ping -c 1 127.0.0.1 >&- 2>&- || continue
        while read IP STORE JUNK; do # may not need JUNK, but it doesn't hurt
                echo ping -c 2 "$IP"
                echo ping -c 3 4.2.2.2
                echo ipsec auto --replace $STORE
                echo ipsec auto --up $STORE
        done < "$VPNlist"
        ps -o pid,vsz,args | grep "^$$ "
done

storelist contains just one string (any string, it is not important what exactly is there). And I see steady memory usage (vsz doesn't grow).

Can you try it? If it works for you too (vsz doesn't grow), try with YOUR storelist, then start uncommenting pings/ipsecs/etc and let us know at which step exactly is will start to leak again.
