Hi,
I have checked the problem a little more. Beside the "top" command on debian can show the same as the "top" does on WRTs. If you press 'H' the threads are also shown. Perhaps the implementation of the "top" or "ps" show the threads too.
There are four batmand threads running. After a while one thread is terminated for about 100 seconds (25 x 4 seconds) and a new thread is created after this time. At this time the memory needs is increased. It seams that at each thread-kill-restart 16 Kbytes are wasted. The virtual assinged memory increases and also the %-Value used.
Does it really increase endlessly with each new thread ? If its the GW-client thread then you can enforce the termination and recreation on-the-fly with batmand -c -r0 (to destroy the tunnel) and -c -r3 (to create the tunnel)
Below you will see the values (memory and pid) delivered by "top" for one incrementation. Hope it gives you a hint. Why is the thread killed and created? There is no client conntected to any router. rdate is restarted periodically and the laptop is telling that it has an internet connection (configured through batmand arguments, which is wanted). Note that the laptop does not have a connection to internet. It just pretends it has one.
there is a blackhole detection in the default two-way-tunnel. This can cause the client to disconnect from the unresponsive (-blackhole-) GW and put the GW on a blacklist for some time. It should all be reported on debug-level 3. If no other GW is available, the GW-client node will reconnect to the GW after a while (might be 100 sec). If you have a dummy GW, either use --no-unresp-gw-check or use --one-way-tunnel 3 at the client and the GW side
