Memory Usage of BIRD

Hi Folks,

I just made a little experiment:
* let BIRD peer with a router that has Full Feed
* letting BIRD eat Full Feed (and tweet) - memory footprint ~ 130 MB  
BTW (64 Bit Linux)
* shutting the session down on the router-side
* BIRD's memory consumption decreased to 128 MB, but was never freed  
again.

So now I don't know if this is 'by design' (routes are marked dirty  
and overwritten on next usage) or a bug...

Thanks for any replies;
Wolfgang
