>Description:
On a small local network with a dozen hosts, mdnsd routinely swells to hundreds of megabytes of RSS until it is nixed by the oom-killer (although the oom-killer often picks other victims like all the shell commands run by /etc/daily).

With the volume of data it processes in this scenario, it should really be limited to a few hundred kilobytes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Leave mdnsd running on a network with a few other machines and use .local hostnames.
>Fix:
Yes, please!
