Running the "bridge monitor file" command opened the file, but never closed it. A fix has been applied to close the opened file after loading its content. As a result, the command now closes all opened files as expected.

Description Petr Pisar 2013-09-25 08:08:56 UTC 
Static analysis and valgrind show a memory leak in bridge(8) tool. The reason is a missing fclose(3) call:

> iproute2-2.6.31/bridge/monitor.c:140:leaked_storage – Variable "fp" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to. 

Proposed fix has been submitted to the upstream <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/284884>.
