Eat memory

[mritter0]

This is a new one to me.

I start my program, from Shell or Workbench, all is good.

I start another copy. As soon as the window is opened it eats 1.5MB of RAM for no reason.

I close either copy, it is released.

If I open multiple copies, each one uses 1.5MB again. When I close one, it releases the 1.5MB. When get down to the last window, of any copy, it is back to the "normal" 140KB used RAM.

Only the second and higher copy causes the memory usage. First copy is fine.

I have been using this code since "back in the day"

BOOL
SAK_SegmentSplit(STRPTR CommandName,STRPTR Name,BYTE Pri,LONG StackSize,APTR Function)
{
    struct Process                  *Child, *Me;
    struct CommandLineInterface     *CLI;

    Me=(struct Process *)FindTask(NULL);

    if (Me->pr_CLI)
    {
        CLI=(struct CommandLineInterface *)BADDR(Me->pr_CLI);

        Forbid();

        if (Child=CreateNewProcTags(
            NP_CommandName,     CommandName,
            NP_Name,            Name,
            NP_Priority,        Pri,
            NP_StackSize,       StackSize,
            NP_Entry,           Function,
            NP_Cli,             TRUE,
            NP_ExitCode,        (VOID (*)())SAK_ProcessCleanup,
            NP_ExitData,        CLI->cli_Module,
        TAG_DONE))
            CLI->cli_Module=NULL;
        else
        {
            Permit();

            Printf("\x1B[1m%s:\x1B[0m Failed to create new process!\a\n",CommandName);

            return(FALSE);
        }

        Permit();
    }

    return(TRUE);
}

Anything in there the culprit? I am at a loss.

Attached code looks fine (EDIT: but also too much code is not included), clearing cli_Module is quite common method to prevent executable memory deallocation when it exits.
