Subject:   possible mem leak in command "top"?

Has anyone else noticed memory leak when running the command "top"?  I
noticed there were NO free CPU cycles on my box (4.3-stable) 2 days ago.
Listing process showed top had been running for over 24 hours and was
using 99% of CPU.  I killed that process and started top again.  This time
I let it run for just under an hour.  In that time it accelerated from
using at start just under 2% of CPU to over 44% after I finally killed it.
What is also interesting is when you kill the process,  the display goes
away but ps still shows the process about 20 % of the time>??  Any input
is appreciated.
