Again I'm sorry - I just used another small testcase doing the same.

Thanks a lot - indeed MS defender was active - I deactivate it!
Here is my description of the testcase.
Step 1) Open one bash console for calling "/usr/bin/free" from time to time
to see the "lost memory" while running step 2.
$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 12540232 1862512 10677720 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 1862512 10677720
Swap: 12540232 0 12540232
Wait 10 seconds ...

$ free

Mem: 12540232 1875340 10664892 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 1875340 10664892
Swap: 12540232 0 12540232
Step 2) Open another or more bash console for calling "test2.sh"
$ ./test2.sh
you will see lots of lines like this
******** snip snip snip ***********
.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0

******** snip snip snip ***********
If running more "test2.sh" in parallel (I use up to 10) the memory consumption
is even more.
As you see - on my system memory is lost ...
I just see that between two free calls or in Windows Task Manager - of course
other programm need memory too - but the memory always shrinks.
best regards
Heiko
