[debian-mysql] Bug#1027337: Bug#1027337: mariadb-server-10.5: Huge increase in memory consumption (leak?) since upgrade from 10.5.15 to 10.5.18

[Xan Charbonnet]

Faustin,

Thanks for looking into this, and for your work packaging MariaDB for 
Debian.

It looks to me like https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-29988 is very 
likely to be the issue we're seeing.  Fortunately (if I'm interpreting 
upstream's JIRA correctly), it looks like a fix exists and will be 
included in 10.5.19.

 From their release history, 10.5.19 can be expected in early February.

Probably what I will do is downgrade all machines to 10.5.15 and look 
forward to the Debian package of 10.5.19, which hopefully will not be 
long after the upstream release.
