I remember that issue, it was fixed on Oct 5 2011:
- client: fix a memory leak; would lose ~120 bytes each time a job
is started
- client: fix memory leak when reading stderr of completed job.
This caused 128KB + size of stderr loss for each job.
- client: print error message if reading stderr fails
(e.g. because of malloc failure)
That fix made it into 6.12.40 or better and 6.13.7 or better.
The latest clients shouldn't have that issue.

I reported the issue back in August 2011 so it was the Boinc Client
6.12.33. The issue happened when connected to our high-workunit volume
project. When connected only to Seti the memory grow was very slow.
I will do a test with the latest client and report back.
Regards,
Patricio.

RE: [boinc_dev] Clear event log

Are these with the latest clients? Or older versions? Which projects
are you attached too?
This sounds like a memory leak of some sort.
John is right that the core client limits the number of log entries at
2000, cycles the log file at 2MB. We found and fixed a bug where the
logs were not being cycled correctly, but this sounds like a whole
different beast.

I have the same issue. I have about 100 clients running Boinc here at
work.
After about a month they all are consuming about 1GB of memory. I
scheduled a task that re-starts the boinc service every day.
Here is the batch file to create that task:
:: Setup
:: On some machines the schtasks command is not found when launched from
:: a network script so we have to use the full path.
@set SCHTASKS=%WINDIR%\system32\schtasks
:: Set a task to re-start BOINC everyday and prevent high memory
consumption.
@echo Creating BOINC re-start task ...
@set BOINCTASKNAME="Boinc Service Restart"
@%SCHTASKS% /Delete /F /TN %BOINCTASKNAME% >> NUL 2>&1 @%SCHTASKS%
/Create /RU system /SC daily /ST 12:35:00 /TN %BOINCTASKNAME% /TR
"%WINDIR%\system32\cmd.exe /C net stop Boinc & net start Boinc"
Regards,
Patricio.

Re: [boinc_dev] Clear event log

The log is supposed to roll at a user specified size. If I recall
correctly, it defaults to 10 MB.

How about a Clear Log Button and functionality in the Event Log window?
If BOINC is running for a long time the log consumes a lot of memory:

That's 1.5GB!
