Re: BUG #16707: Memory leak

I took a copy of /proc/$pid/smaps about 2 hours apart, and a diff
shows:
-5604495f1000-5604886fd000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
-Size:            1033264 kB

 LazyFree:              0 kB
 AnonHugePages:         0 kB
 ShmemPmdMapped:        0 kB

So the heap grew with 70 MB.

The new results from status:
VmPeak:  5928312 kB
VmSize:  5928056 kB
VmLck:         0 kB
VmPin:         0 kB
VmHWM:   5772336 kB
VmRSS:   5772084 kB
RssAnon:         1485980 kB
RssFile:           27472 kB
RssShmem:        4258632 kB
VmData:  1483776 kB
VmStk:       132 kB
VmExe:      5388 kB
VmLib:     68200 kB
VmPTE:     11512 kB
VmSwap:        0 kB
HugetlbPages:          0 kB

Both seem to say that the heap grew with 70 MB in about 2 hours.
With 10 processes growing at this rate, it grows with about 8 GB a
day.
