[Oisf-devel] suricata memory consumption not follow down after http test stoped.

[Delta Yeh]

Hi,
  I update suricata source to git HEAD.
  I  build suricata in a Debian lenny virtual machine( 1GRAM , two
core 2.1G CPU) with
    1. autogen.sh
     2. ./configure
     3. make && make install

 The suricata.yaml is the default .
I use ./suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml -i eth0  to start suricata.

I run apache ab( ab -c 1 -n 60000   http://192.168.1.123/) to test
suricata(a simple nginx welcome page).
During the test, I can see the memory suricata consumed grown up.
When 60000 request finished, in the top output,the suricata process
mem is 45.2%.
5 minutes later, the mem is STILL 45.2%, only CPU change from 45% to 4%.

I then start another 60000 http request test with ab, the memory
suricata consumed INCREASED!!

It this a memory leakage?
