No. It is a bug which was fixed only a couple of weeks ago in the 
development version.

If it doesn't grow more than that, then it does seem ok.

VLC is checked for memory leaks under Linux with valgrind so if there is a 
memory leak, it will either come from the win32 specific part of the code 
(which is pretty slim if you only stream) or it will be due to some code 
paths not tested properly. All in all, I don't think you'll find that many 
memory leaks in VLC.
