[Bug 295310] sysutils/plasma6-ksystemstats memory leak

--- Comment #11 from Maxnix <maxnix.bsd at gmail.com> ---
Ok, I applied the patch and reporting back.

However, I first have to apologize because seems tiredness hit me pretty badly,
and have reported incorrect informations in comment #6: I wrote that the leak
was in the order of kilobytes, when it was in the order of *bytes*! So this is
surely the reason why Andriy Gapon's update was at odds with mine. I apologize
again for such a silly error!

That said this is what I observed:

- When using systemmonitor or plasma widgets there is an increase of memory
usage, usually of 4 bytes about every 2-3 hours: since it is so low should this
be considered normal?

- If ksystemstats is started due to systemmonitor, it terminates toghether with
systemmonitor, but if it is started due to plasma widgets it keeps running even
if all widgets are removed (should it?); in this context I tried to see how it
would behave if I launched systemmonitor: it allocates some more bytes *every
time* I start the program, and doesn't seem to free it when systemmonitor is
closed, so I wanted to know if there is a threshold from which it begins
freeing memory or if this is a sign of a leak too.

P.S.
how I said, I use KDE neon user edition as a reference, could you please tell
me if it is the right choice or if I should follow another procedure to verify
if the behaviour of a KDE related software is correct or not?

Thank you in advance.
