Recently, we upgraded our target board to rdkb2020q2 where we see meshAgent comes as native. We are in the process of integrating Opensync2.0.5 in it, so it requires meshAgent(where it acts as the middle layer between RDKB components and opensync). The issue is whenever we start the /usr/bin/meshAgent, memory leaks drastically and the Box reboots in a minute.

Board's RAM is 512 MB and available memory was ~120 MB before triggering meshAgent process.

And the Box goes for reboot due to out of memory.
