Summary0013385: Constant memory increase until crash
DescriptionAfter launching the game, system monitor reports a constant memory increase from dwarf fortress. After an hour of usage, stock DF is using over 20gb of memory, and will continue to use more until the OOM Killer runs. This appears to get worse with DFHack enabled.

The memory usage is visible only staying on the title screen, and gets much, much worse after loading a fort. after quitting the fort back to the main menu, memory usage does not decrease. The program must be closed before memory usage drops to normal, if i want to avoid a crash.
Steps To ReproduceOpen the game, and wait. intensifies after loading a save.
