[Bug 743350] Re: top appears to leak memory

[Stevel]

I've been running top for a few days on a 'forgotten' tty. Now it's
using over 3GB of memory...

Title:
  top appears to leak memory

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: procps

  I always have a top screen open, and after a while the memory usage
  reported by top for itself grows larger and larger. It is now almost
  as large as GIMP and larger than Firefox. See attached screenshot.
