BFG: OOM Error

• I have checked for similar issues.

Describe the bug

When running BFG that handles network requests on incentivized testnet, we occasionally get OOM errors.

It's important to note a few things:

we run two types of BFG in incentivized testnet: one to handle network requests, and one to only handle queue items and new blocks. This affects the former.

I am unsure where this is coming from, but my hunch is that it is something with handling requests. We start an unbounded number of goroutines, at least one per request, so it's likely something to do with this.

Let's see if we can reproduce locally somehow.

Expected behaviour

We should avoid OOM errors.
