Comment (by hockey_dave):

 Any word on this issue?  This memory leak is pretty severe and basically
 makes UDP input useless for long data reception.  I would guess it's
 probably fine for short files where you restart ffmpeg before the memory
 leak becomes severe enough to take the process down.

 Any workarounds?  It would be difficult for me to roll back to an earlier
 ffmpeg version since I use Xuggler and bundled ffmpeg libraries.  In my
 case the memory leak just runs the jvm process up to machine installed
 memory and then crashes the jvm.
