Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark Memory Usage

During my investigation into the performance issues with transum I noticed an apparent memory leak.  Each time I close and re-open the same 40 MB trace file, Wireshark memory usage increases by about 14 MB.  I thought it was a problem with my code but decided to check memory usage on the current 2.2 release.  I see the same problem:

 

 

Is this expected or is it a bug?

 

Thanks and regards…Paul
