These are bugs called "memory leak", quite common in IOS. Try updating IOS.

Oh great.

Are you sure is it truly memory leak ?

Sorry for I'm asking this.

I'm hoping, believing, desiring it was memory leak.

It happens since I've configured policy-map and route-map on this router.

hoping, believing, desiring, do not help in networking.

Upgrading image often does.

Ok. Good news.

Let's searching IOS from who has CCO account with privilege access.

I will tell you further result.

Sincerely,

Tseveen.
