Hi Eli,
consumptions of few GiB is something I've seen more then once for long
standing sessions. You might be right in this being a memory leak,
indeed I've no prove of that (I think we have none for the other
direction either).
Assuming it's a bug I don't see a priori why this should be a different
one respect the one reported for master.
Regards
Andrea
