That's weird! I've just finished troubleshooting of terrible memory leaks in our
application (not DL related) and faced that net-snmp 5.4.0 eats memory with
greate speed (especially libsnmp). The release notes for 5.4.1 show that some
leaks were fixed in 5.4.1 (  [BUG 1619827],[PATCH 1616912], [PATCH 1592706]). I
think we may update net-snmp to 5.4.1 but I've not checked yet if the update
really solves our problem (and I can't guarantee it solves your problem).
