 Summary of the bug:
 ffmpeg is being used as shared libraries by the application.
 Plays a 104 second long h264 42801F clip and abruptly terminates after 20
 seconds.
 File is played 340 times simultaneously for 9 hours.
 The heap piles up and process address space is filled and sets ENOMEM,
 denying further allocations.
 But if the file plays completely for 104 secs ,the allocations are
 released properly.

 How to reproduce:
