[New-bugs-announce] [issue43375] memory leak in threading ?

[Igor Mandrichenko]

New submission from Igor Mandrichenko <igorvm at gmail.com>:

There is an apparent memory leak in threading. It looks like memory grows when I create, run and destroy threads. The memory keeps adding at the rate of about 100 bytes per thread.

I am attaching the code, which works for Linux. getMemory() function is Linux-specific, it gets current process memory utilization
