    Hello,

    I'm having an issue with btape, every time that I issue the 'quit'
    comand, I get an 'btape: smartall.c:404 Orphaned buffer: btape 280
    bytes at d2e278 from jcr.c:362' (the d2e278 changes on every
    execution):

    It's a Debian Wheezy install with bacula 5.2.6. I first saw this
    after installing 5.2.6, previously I was running 5.0.3 (built from
    sources) with no problems at all. All bacula tests and backup jobs
    finishes without errors.

    Any clues? What are those orphaned buffers exactly? Will it slowly
    leak system's memory over time? Can I safely ignore them?


I believe this is a small memory leak. I would try installing the latest release bacula-5.2.13 to see if this problem was already fixed.
