I did not manage to reproduce with the latest image, keeping it high and
incomplete, though.

Title:
  ubuntu-location-service is leaking memory a lot

Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Yesterday evening I tested two applications using positioning.
  Everything was working fine. I can't remember if I have closed the
  apps or not, but today I noticed unity8-dash being stuck in a restart-
  loop. All open/recent apps were killed by the oom killer (lifecycled)
  and the dash keeps getting killed by the oom killer and respawned by
  upstart.

  logging into the phone reveals that ubuntu-location-service is taking
  approx 1GB of memory, causing everything else to be killed.

  Here's some collected data:

  Device: Nexus 4 (mako)
  Image #: 6 (RTM channel)

  dmesg keeps on printing this repeatedly:

  [101795.423688] send sigkill to 1431 (unity8-dash), adj 50, size 23410

  as we can see here, location-service is using about 1 GB reserved
  memory, steadily growing (about 100kb every 10 mins). unity8-dash is
  using all the CPU because it keeps getting respawned and killed.
