julia> @sync for i in 1:100
                  Threads.@spawn begin
                    function foo()
                      [fill(1.0, 2_00_000) for _ in 1:1000]
                      nothing
                    end
                    foo()
              end
              end

When i ran the above code which consumed 6.9G of ram (not the issue) after execution running GC.gc() multiple times only releases about (2.5G). I found a related github issue Memory leak with function redefinition · Issue #30653 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub which appears to have been fixed. Is this a bug??
