You probably run out of shared memory (e.g. you have lots of long lived
transactions). Try to increase the shared memory size (start ser with
ser -m 128 for example).

How do you see this? If you mean the RSS then it's normal, ser starts by
default with 32Mb of shared memory, which initially is mostly unused.
