<p dir="auto">I noticed that recent VMs leak a few hundred kilobytes of memory every 3-6 seconds. It happens even if you just start VM and do nothing with the image.<br>
I tested it with various 64-bit Linux VMs. There seems to be no upper limit on the leaked memory. The leak happens even with the -memory option set. The size of the object memory is not affected by the leak, saved images remain small and the image does not see the increase in memory usage.<br>
Affected VMs include: 5.0-202206021410, 5.0-202205110711, 5.0-202204190959<br>
Unaffected VMs include: 5.0-202112022203 and 5.0-202112201228<br>
The 5.0-202206021410 assert and debug VMs leak the memory as well.</p>
