Hi Shawn
Thank you for the response.
I have in fact in the meantime installed jemmalloc libraries on a few
servers and the issue with the memory is definitely gone when using
jemmalloc library.
I do still feel this is a bug though , as I am only able to produce
this issue when using mysql 5.7 on ubuntu using the system memory
libraries.
Using other libraries like jemmalloc now seems to work 100% again, and
in previous versions of mysql on same OS , using system libraries also
works 100%.
This issue I have is only present when using mysql 5.7.
I have logged this as a bug, however simply got a reply that it is
not a bug.
but all the other tests as well as the new jemmalloc was all tested
on the same machine and OS.
Thank you for all the assistance though...
Regards
