Need to create a memory leak
Hi.
This might be a strange request, but does anyone have any idea on a simple shell script that would use more and more memory as it ran? Like a purposeful leak.
I want to test the behaviour of an already running program when the machine runs out of memory.
Thanks!

leaktracer
LeakTracer(1) LeakTracer(1)
NAME
LeakTracer - a memory-usage debugger for C++ programs
SYNOPSIS
LeakCheck program [ program arguments ... ]
leak-analyze program [ leak.out ] [ main ] [ program arguments ... ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the LeakCheck and leak-analyze commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has docu-
mentation in the HTML format; see below.
LeakCheck is a small script that executes a C++ program while logging informations about calls to new and delete into a leak.out file.
leak-analyze gives a human-readable report of the contents of a leak.out file, by calling gdb(1) to display the faulty lines.
OPTIONS
These programs accept no special options. For an explanation of the possible arguments to leak-analyze, see the full documentation.
SEE ALSO
The official documentation in /usr/share/doc/leaktracer/README.*, available both in HTML and plain text.
