Virtural Box Manager memory leak

Reported by: Don Hughes Owned by:
Component: VM control Version: VirtualBox 4.3.12

Guest type: all Host type: Linux

Description

On a SuSE 13.1 64 bit system running VirtualBox 4.3.12 an idle system with no VMs running goes from a memory footprint of 470 Mib to 2.6 Gig in about 10hrs to over 8 Gig in a couple of days. The memory is released if the manager is stopped and re-started. I did not have this problem with previous releases of VirtualBox on the same hardware.

Run using valgrind --leak-check=full, and the memory leak does not appear to be in the VirtualBox module, but, rather in X, parts of which were also recently upgraded.

This ticket can be closed as unfounded.
