I am seeing the leak with gpg-agent and mariadbd.  I don't run the rest
on 10.

gpg-agent had a SIZE of 17G with a reasonable rss, after 2h21h of
uptime.  This is a machine where gpg is basically not in used.  So it's
pretty bad.

And, on a  RPI4 also with 10:

 4212 mariadb   85    0  3734M  130M poll/0    145:16  0.00%  0.00% mariadbd

since 26May.  bad, but not nearly as much.
