I have setup an HTPC based on oxine + vdr It has 2gigs of RAM and another 2gigs of Swap space Upon booting it uses about 300megs of RAM.

5 hours later (running vdr all this time) I notice most of the ram is in use.

Is this a known memory leak or a design feature?

Neither one ;-)

If a known memory leak is there a patch for it or we need to wait for 1.7.5?

I have released version 1.7.5 earlier today. Please test if it happens with this one, too.

I dont' see a problem here.

Can you post the same info when the problem actually happens?

All unused memory being used for caches is not a memory leak.
