I have a C program that I suspect of memory leak.
However, the memory leak occurs when I kill -9 the program and restart the program to run as a daemon.
I didn't see the memory leak problem when the daemon is not killed and restarted at least 5 times.

The CPU usage on the server drop to ZERO everytime I kill the process BUT whenever I restart the process, it consume 2% more than it did the previous time.

Is this possible? I dun understand why did the CPU util dropped to ZERO after I kill the porcess if it is a memory leak.
