I am writing the list again to ask about when qpid releases memory from queues

I got a response from Carl a while back who suggested the OS is the culprit and
not qpid:

This explanation doesn't seem to agree with simple a cpp test program I've
posted:

Can someone explain in more detail why Qpid's memory usage might differ from a
simple C++ example that news/deletes memory?
thanks,

It is possible there's some heap fragmentation going on - the memory is free (as
far as malloc/free are concerned) but cannot be returned to the OS because its
not in suitably situated contiguous blocks. However such memory is still
available to be re-used by qpidd so it won't continually take more and more
memory from the OS.
