[Bug 406500] [NEW] hellanzb() utilizes vast amount of system memory, which is never released.

[vhp]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hellanzb

hellanzb() upon operation of 10 minutes or more nearly uses all
available system memory.  The amount of memory does not matter, as I
have tried this with 4, 8 and 12GB of DDR2 system memory.  All memory
throughly tested via memtest86 for proper functionality.

Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
Release:	9.04

hellanzb:
  Installed: 0.13-3ubuntu4
  Candidate: 0.13-3ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 0.13-3ubuntu4 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Below shows a time stamp as well as the memory used at that time, possibly one or two seconds after the time stamp.  The first time stamp is prior to the execution of hellnzb, on a freshly booted Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64 system.
