Hi,
I today noticed that in top, that top eats RAM (rss),
and it incresses. About +8kB per refresh.
It started from about 1MB, and after few minutes
I got 13MB, and it was still climbing.
valgrind also warns me that there are some still reachable
memory.

It is probably releaed to my top configuration,
so I present here a .toprc.

On the other hand on other account where I have different .toprc,
I also have some warnings from valgrind, but memory
usage do not grow, and LEAK SuMMARY is essentially
the same regardless how long I run top
(constant overhead, nothing harmless, as there is no need
to deallocate things if we are exiting anyway).
Regards,
Witek
