Very long running query from the shell (mongo) (doing nothing), kills memory/swap on the client machine. mongod is not running on same machine.

e.g. run this and wait 5 hours and look at swap.

var conn = new Mongo('mongo_machine_ip');
var some_db = conn.getDB('some_db');

var mysleep = function(){

var conn = new Mongo();
var some_db = conn.getDB('some_db');
sleep(1000*60*60*5);
return [1,2];
};

var a = forces.eval(mysleep);
print(a);
