New submission from John Snow:
malloc_closere.c holds a static list of items: free_list.
The items are being allocated in the more_core method using VirtualAlloc /
mmap. However they never get released.
Here is the allocation code:
#ifdef MS_WIN32
item = (ITEM *)VirtualAlloc(NULL,
count * sizeof(ITEM),
MEM_COMMIT,
PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE);
if (item == NULL)
return;
#else
item = (ITEM *)mmap(NULL,
count * sizeof(ITEM),
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1,
0);
if (item == (void *)MAP_FAILED)
return;
#endif
