Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash
In feisty, when a command is called with backtick, there is apparently a memory
leak which is fixed only once the correspong bash session is closed.
How to reproduce:
1. for i in `seq 1 100000` ; do true ; done
in a bash session (even gnome-terminal would do)
You can see the memory increasing, repeat this few times to observe that it
is actually
increasing and not getting freed.
On the other hand
for i in $(seq 1 100000) ; do true; done
works fine.
My system is Feisty (upgraded from edgy, which was upgraded from dapper,
from breezy)

** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
