MEMORY leak

[harsha.hr]

Does ever growing SZ from ps indicate memory leak?

can you please send the question in detail ??

SZ field according to my ps`s man page is
sz The size in physical pages of the core image of
the process, including text, data, and stack
space. Physical page size is defined by
_SC_PAGE_SIZE in the header file <unistd.h> (see
sysconf(2) and unistd(5))

_SC_PAGE_SIZE is 3001.

And this SZ field for my process keeps increasing by 32. Is it an indication of Memory Leak ?

Yes, unless the program has a legitimate reason to need more and more memory. Deciding whether that's true could be complicated, of course.
