While trying to navigate the desktop, I noticed the mouse movement was very slow and eventually stopped. I tried to open the task manager, but could not. I had to disconnect power to reboot. To troubleshoot, I ran the code again and kept an eye on the RSS being used in the task manager, and I've noted it goes up somewhere around 100 KB/min, all the time. I've also tried running a sketch with an empty void setup and empty void draw, and still the RSS increases at about the same rate.\r\n\r\n\r\n## Expected Behavior\r\n\u003c!--- Bug? Tell us what you were expecting. --\u003e\r\n\u003c!--- Improvement? Tell us how you’d like it to work. --\u003e\r\nRAM usage might increase initially, but should steady out and not grow.\r\n\r\n## Current Behavior\r\n\u003c!--- Explain the difference from current behavior. --\u003e\r\nRSS usage for the sketch is slowly increasing at a rate of about 100 KB/min. I have been monitoring this for at least 2 hours. At this rate, my RPi will run out of memory in about 5 days, which is what I saw before.\r\n\r\n## Steps to Reproduce\r\n\u003c!--- Provide an unambiguous set of steps to reproduce. --\u003e\r\n\u003c!--- Including code will make it more likely to be fixed. --\u003e\r\n1. Run a sketch with empty void setup and void loop.\r\n2.
