I am testing net-snmp on and embedded ARM board and I have found what appears 
to be a memory leak in net-snmp, when using the monitor command in snmpd.conf. 
The memory leak only seems to occur with r values other than the default 600s. 
I have added the following lines to my snmpd.conf file and tested with both 
5.6.1.1 and the latest svn as of today. 

proc test
monitor -S -r 33 -o prNames -o prErrMessage "Process Table" prErrorFlag 0 1

The value of r has an impact on the rate of the memory leak. Using a value of 
33s shows the memory increase after approximately 6 minutes then and further 
increases at approximately 10 minute intervals.

time minutes    vsz
   0           7576
   6           7704
  16           7832
  26           7960
  36           8088
  46           8212
  56           8340

Using r set to 30 or 60 gives an increase in vsize after 11minutes then at 
intervals of approximately 18 minutes??

Has anybody else come across this problem?

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
