<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi all!<br><br></div>I reported a bug in VLC earlier today about it causing increasing total RAM consumption:<br><br><a href="https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/17241">https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/17241</a><br><br></div>However, the strange thing is when it happens, the %MEM usage of the system increases, but I don't see it in htop/top (as root)'s individual processes' RAM consumption. And the memory gets freed after I quit VLC Player. <br><br>Why? How is it possible? Where does all the memory go? <br clear="all"><div><div><div><br></div><div>I'm on mageia v6 x86-64 with :<br><br>shlomif@telaviv1:~$ uname -a<br>Linux <a href="http://telaviv1.shlomifish.org">telaviv1.shlomifish.org</a> 4.7.0-desktop-2.mga6 #1 SMP Sat Jul 30 21:54:30 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux<br><br></div><div>Is this a bug somewhere?
