State-Changed-Why: 
Hello, thank you for your report, but this is not a problem at all. It
is very normal that the memory free, drops to a couple of megabytes,
why? the system uses the rest of the space to do caching stuff, which
speeds up various system things. When the system needs the memory again,
it will be released and reallocated to the requestor. So again, thanks
for the report, but this is not a bug.
