I will try again to work out how to drive that in a bit. :)

Thanks.

OK: Top gives me this:
20471 apt-cach 20 0 1451m 4612 1080 S 0 0.2 0:03.47 apt-cacher-ng
So, at 1.4GB we have reproduced the issue, whatever it is.

Nothing untoward from lsof that I can see:

What does look to leak is anonymous memory:
r...@fitz-deb01:~# /tmp/proc-maps 20471
Backed by file:
Executable r-x 3644
Write/Exec (jump tables) rwx 0
RO data r-- 36
Data rw- 92
Unreadable --- 20460
Unknown 0
Anonymous:
Writable code (stack) rwx 311308
Data (malloc, mmap) rw- 1019932
RO data r-- 0
Unreadable --- 131352
Unknown 0
I attached the code for proc-maps, but it basically just sums memory
allocations. On the same hunch /proc/.../maps and /proc/.../smaps are both
attached, although I don't think they tell much more than the summary above.
