Memory Leak in GetPixels and GetPixels32

There is a memory leak using either GetPixels method with any texture, using this simple script:

using UnityEngine;
public class TextureTest : MonoBehaviour
{
public Texture2D encoded;
void Start()
{
this.encoded = new Texture2D(256,256);
}
void Update()
{
this.encoded.GetPixels32();
}
}

If you leave this running for a while the memory will eventually (after about 1 minute) run out of memory and crash, using a larger texture will cause a much quicker crash and the memory increase is clearly visible in the profiler.

Any suggestions on a work around?

Thanks,

I'll do a quick test on Windows Store in a moment, but no the editor does not have the same issue, I'm fairly sure it's windows phone only.

 

No leak on Windows Store, tested on Windows RT tablet, and I tested both methods, although they are a little slow at 66ms.

I've submitted a bug report as number 567103, with a simple repro project! Hope that helps.
