Description:
An application writes a table with the very big number of records per second (about 100) using periodical "INSERT LOCAL INFILE". If working via MyODBC 3.51 it takes off all client's system virtual memory in few days and hangs up the system.
(Virtual memory consuming is increasing with each "INFILE")
This bug is absent if the same application works direct via libmysql.dll. 

How to repeat:
execute "INSERT LOCAL INFILE"
into table
   { for example into test table c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 - int}

from static file generated once
   { for example 10 000 rows of five integers  }
frequently
   { for example 2 times per second}

in my case such test causes increasing of VM size about 1 MB / minute 

Remark.
First I did it with file random generated  for each query, then with static file generated once before executing programm.

After 20K iterations each loading file with 500 rows (10M rows in total) I had not noticed any memory increase at all.
Tested with MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.2.5.
Closing the bug.
