M4300 memory leak
Upgraded to 12.0.19.19 (from 12.0.19.4) yesterday morning.
Now the ram usage increases until the switch crashes and reboots :/
Any advice here?
Seen the same behaviour on M4300-28G-PoE+ and M4300-8X8F and a M4300-52G-PoE+ . Haven't upgraded any others for now.

LaurentMa svp.
JulienR please.
Seen the same on 12.0.19.19, upgraded to 12.0.19.21 it still has memory leak. It is slow it eventually makes our stacks crash. Last know good in our case is 12.0.17.16, but I'm not sure if we can downgrade as bootloader was upgraded to B1.0.0.18

I have one stack running 12.0.19.12, it has had stack masters seemingly lock up recently and took down the whole stack. I am not seeing the memory leak in it. This stack has four M4300-24XF and two M4300-28G
Another stack was running 12.0.19.19. It experienced a stack crash. I updated that stack to 12.0.19.21, about a week later it crashed again. I see the memory leak on it. Every time I run "show process memory" I see SCRIPT increasing:69 - SCRIPT 1290128[ +112] 1290128 [11519/0]
69 - SCRIPT 1291584[ +1456] 1291584 [11532/0]
This stack has two M4300-24XF - eblevinsTutor
