Bug Description:

Encountered a memory leak with corosync on all three nodes in a cluster:

The memory leak was confirmed through an analysis of atop logs where it was observed that memory utilization by corosync would go from 47% to 97% over the course of several days before corosync was then killed.

The are many memory leaks identified for the current version of corosync in MOS6.1

# dpkg -l | grep corosync
ii corosync 2.3.4-0u~u14.04+mos1 amd64 Standards-based cluster framework (daemon and modules)
ii libcorosync-common4 2.3.4-0u~u14.04+mos1 amd64 Standards-based cluster framework, common library

Steps to reproduce:

Unsure how to reproduce at this point, as logging is not detailed enough.

Expected results:

Impact:

corosync has crashed relatively frequently on all three nodes, however
