I don't known .. I'm running aptitude 0.4.11.3-1 from sid

I did 10 times aptitude && free -t

And then I got the diff (of buffer/cached used info) between each one of both consecutive aptitude executions:

480
4392
-2732
2956
48
-48
-2644
2412
-4
64

I don't see these diff

I hope this helps

Sorry for my english
