Hi all, I have recently run an old experiment that used to work fine: One UHD:USRP Tx is sending a constant tone at 1GHz One UHD:USRP Rx is receiving at 1GHz and displays in X-Y mode. Observations: 1) When the 2 USRPs have default (internal) clock I see a circle (due to frequency instability).

My suggestion at this point is to take the -exact- "work" code from a block that seems to be causing this memory issue and move it into a test program as a subroutine. Then, from "main" create a replicated set of calls to this "work" and see what happens. The goal here is to remove the GR part

Hello Ben, In order to test the current hypothesis, I upgraded my system from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 and GNU Radio from 3.7.11 to 3.7.13.5. Still, the leak persists. Surprisingly, Michael didn't experience the issue on his MacOS, running the exact code I'm running at the moment. I'm not sure what
