[Pacemaker] Pacemaker still may include memory leaks

Hi,
I run the test after we updated pacemaker.
I tested the same way as the previous test. However, I think that the
memory leak still may be caused.
I attached the result(smaps and crm_mon and env). And, I also make the
chart of the total of each address.
RSS and SHR(Shared_Clean+Shared_Dirty) and PRI(Private_Clean+Private_Dirty)
The change of PRI is [heap], because the difference of Private_Dirty
is only [heap] and there is no the difference of Private_Clean.
>> --- smaps.5 2013-05-29 02:39:25.032940230 -0400

I think that your test is about 1h. However, there are intervals that
the size of memory doesn't change when I tested.
There are intervals over 1h in those intervals.
The change of PRI
...
Time:2013/5/30 12:28 PRI:3740
...
Time:2013/5/30 14:16 PRI:3740
...
And, There is the part that the size of memory fluctuate a little in.
However, as a whole,
the size of memory continues to increase.
The change of PRI
...
Time:2013/5/30 17:51 PRI:3792
...
Time:2013/5/30 17:53 PRI:3844
...
Time:2013/5/30 17:55 PRI:3792
...
Perhaps, the difference of the resource structure and the test way
affect the result.
I want to run the same test as you. Would you tell me about the detail of test?
Sincerely,
Yuichi
