    Description

      I just had tested 0.4.15-dev-3723-g8d70159 gcc 8.4.0 built on RosBE2.2.1.
      Run on VBox 4.3.12.

      And ros is leaking memory ~4kb/sec when just idling on the desktop.

      0.4.15-dev-3723-g8d70159_butNothingLeaksInProcessesTab.webm
      Are we leaking kernel memory here? Most likely not, it's most likely the taskmgr itself, that is triggering the pseudo-leaking here. A user-mode-leak is more probable than a kernel mode leak here. Major then, not critical.
      This is just a virtual-leak thanks to a "Guard" entry that we put at the end of each committed page. It is only observable in the Performance-tab, but can not be observed in the Processes-tab.
