Ubuntu – loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory

14.04memory leak

I’m running Ubuntu 14.04 Server with a LAMP stack, Samba, and FTP, no GUI, just SSHing into the server and working on it. I’m having trouble searching down a solution to this issue, but as far as I can Google for it, it might have something to do with Samba.

no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory??

The warning doesn't pop up at any kind of regular intervals or in response to the same or repeated actions. It pops up between things I’m doing – changing directories, editing files, copying stuff, and it often pops up when I first log in.

Has anyone got experience fixing this issue?
