Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
When using gnome-terminal over a prolonged period of time (especially with eg. mplayer which outputs a status line via ncurses) the memory usage becomes enormous. hundreds of MB's. The process only releases the memory after the last terminal is closed. Somehow 'caching' the memory of earlier terminals (which in my humble opinion is a memory leak).
