Hello Pranith,
thank you for reply and heads up. I've read only through mails with
subject "memory leak" and didn't know you, or somebody else, already
found this issue.
Hey,
Please err on posting these kinds of mails in future as well :-). In the worst case it will be something we already know. But in the best case it wll be something new :-).
Best regards,
Z.
