Bug Description

Looking at the indicators on my desktop, and I see RAM almost completely consumed. Running Top, I see the following:

Indicator-multiload appears to be consuming a full gigabyte of resident memory. This seems to be a memory leak. The system has been running for a long while now:

12:35:09 up 6 days, 4:47, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.26, 0.39

Подтверждаю. В течении суток может занять более 2 Gb памяти.
Память течет примерно со скоростью мегабайт в 5 минут.
I confirm. Within days can occupy more than 2 Gb of memory.
Memory flows approximately with speed of mbytes 5 minutes.
