I noticed this already with 1.5.3, which I left running for awhile and got like 29g VIRT at some point, but now the history repeats itself with 1.6.0. It really looks like if there were a memleak somewhere that is not fixed. It's not a ncurses thing, I am still running the text interface, because the WINCH bug is back again in 1.6.0. Also, this doesn't manifest itself if CPU mining is disabled and doesn't depend on which algorithm exactly one does use.
Ah, knowing it's only with cpu mining will help. I'll investigate further.
