[Bug 1364391] [NEW] dbus-daemon slowly eating up memory (slow heap memory leak)

[Colin Ian King]

Public bug reported:

On an idle phone I measured memory consumption of dbus-daemon and
observed it consumed an extra 2232K of anonymous mapped memory (aka
heap)  over 570 minutes of observation, which works out to be about
5.5MB of memory leakage per day.

One can observe the heap memory mapping grow using:

ps -ef | grep dbus-daemon 
message+   798     1  0 Sep01 ?        00:08:41 dbus-daemon --system --fork
phablet   1701  1570  0 Sep01 ?        00:02:06 dbus-daemon --fork --session --address=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-DcfHVNdM5f

smemstat -p 798 60

and watching the heap grow (smemstat will dump out stats every 60
seconds).

I'm pretty confident this is a small memory leak somewhere.
