I DO think this is a bug in OpenCV. I have been experiencing something similar with the python interface on a W95 system. The code opens and releases a VideoCapture device in an infinite loop to safe network bandwidth as I need an image only ever so often from the camera. I also see a steady increase in memory usage over time, which in my case leads to a computer crash every ~6 hours. Since I have switched to terminating and restarting the script before it can eat up all system resources no further computer crash has occured.
