 I'm trying to run ffmpeg on Ubuntu 16.04, libc6-dev 2.23-0ubuntu5 amd64.

 There is a memory leak that is according to my tests related to pthreads.
 If I fully transcode video and audio process can go up to 1GB of memory
 usage in an hour.

 Tested with following command:
 ffmpeg -loglevel error -i
 "udp://239.250.15.1:5004?fifo_size=1000000&overrun_nonfatal=1"
 -ignore_unknown -sn -c:v copy -c:a copy -f null -

 Valgrind with --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all doesn't show too
 much in my opinion.

 When ffmpeg is compiled with --disable-pthreads memory is stable for
 hours.
