I disabled the second core of my system for some testing, but there are still leaks.

I just wrote a new script, which has the lowest memory growth I was able to produce.

What really surprises me is the erratic growth of resident memory consumption.(the second cell)
I just submitted a bugreport.
use threads;

while( 1 ) {
    my $t = threads->create( sub{ undef @_;undef;} );

        my $f = $t->join();
        undef $t;
        undef $f;
        threads->yield();
        select undef,undef,undef,0.2;
}
