Hi,
         I was doing some testing with openvpn 
and was wondering if there is perhaps a memory leak ?

Doing,
openvpn --test-crypto --secret key --engine 
cryptodev --cipher aes-128-cbc > /dev/null

seems to make the memory in use constantly go up

0[nanobsdr7]# vmstat -h -m | egrep "Type|glx"
          Type InUse MemUse HighUse Requests  Size(s)
    glxsb_data  1381   173K       -     1381  128
0[nanobsdr7]#
....
0[nanobsdr7]# vmstat -h -m | egrep "Type|glx"
          Type InUse MemUse HighUse Requests  Size(s)
    glxsb_data  1841   231K       -     1841  128

InUse is always going up ?  This is with the driver from the above url.
