Memory leak?

Good evening!

Yesterday I noticed, that dhcpcd is using a lot of memory, so I looked
at it again today.

root     29796  0.1 30.8 720948 315808 ?       Ss   07:58   0:58
/usr/sbin/dhcpcd

This start time is about 12 hours ago at the moment and it's using 300
MB of RAM. That seems like a lot to me and right after a restart it is
a lot less, too.

root      4002  0.1  1.4 455604 14744 ?        Ss   20:05   0:00
/usr/sbin/dhcpcd

My config is still the same as in the previous thread, minus the
"debug" option. I'm still using the self-built version at commit
fac4a27e2f0c46b16db4fbf0e15f4c867cc533f4.

Is this normal or do you have any ideas how to narrow down the cause?

Kind regards!
