Hi Louis,
i follow your tip and build samba 4.6.2 with ldb 1.1.29.
I can reproduce the same behavior. Memory is increasing continuously.

Hai Andrej,
Oeps, Sorry, my mistake 4.6.x needs at least 1.1.29.
But you can upgrade to 4.6.x ;-)
Check again and if that problem then still exists, then i think you can better ask this one in the samba-technical list.
Or if Rowland knows something more about this.
One tip, wait untill tomorrow or the weekend, there wil be a new release due to the regression bug.
There planning is to be release today.
Louis
