OpenCL gominer memory leak #217

Description

This was reported in 2016 but still appears to be an issue. When I start gominer it uses about 5 - 6 % of memory, but after a a day or so it is up to over 70% as reported by top. I've also noticed that some of my workers eventually hang and all I can do is reboot. I don't know the cause because I cannot get to linux but I suspect that gominer may be running the machine out of memory.

As an aside I've noticed that the OpenCL version is a CPU hog using 400% of the CPU which is reported by top (have 4 cpus), so consuming a lot of the CPU. I tried the CUDA version which is much better as far as CPU usage is concerned but is half the hash rate of the OpenCL version.
