[FFmpeg-user] Suspect memory leak in NUT muxer

hello,
with the following command line:

ffmpeg -i any.mpg -vcodec rawvideo -acodec pcm_s16le -f nut - 2> NUL |
ffplay -

for any video file, you can experience a substantial memory leak. Same
problem using directshow capture source (decklink). In about 12 hours
ffmpeg passed from 40mb to 550mb and ffplay from 25mb to 380mb.

I suspect the problem is the nut muxer.
Using ASF (-f asf) as muxer everything is fine and no mem leak is detected.
I have not tested other muxers.

ffmpeg/ffplay version used for these tests:
"N-55020-g768e40b" 64bit on Windows 7 64bit.
"N-54960-gf3f4e13" 32bit on Windows XP 32 bit.

thanks,
MB
