Which patch? 0.4.6b or 0.4.6c? The # of connections varies, I usually have 
between 5 and 15 [min 3, max observed 19].

Ah, that's the CRONDOT, a debug feature that was accidentially left active. 
Edit src/include/debugging.h and set CRONDOT to 0.

Restarting won't use more space, but it will do the work again (because it 
must check that the data is actually there). Use the "-V" switch to see that 
there is progress. 2 GB will take quite a while (lots of random disk accesses
due to the nature of hashes). But it's Unix, so you don't really have to baby 
sit the process :-)
