[Memory Leak][High][Memory leak when trying to use usb deivces]

Host OS: Windows 8.1 x64

Guest OS: Ubuntu 14.04 l

Hardware: Lenovo Y510p with USB 3.0 with 8G memory

Others:

1. Dual boot of Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04

2. Boot Windows 8.1 up

3. Boot Ubuntu 14.04 from physic disk using VMware 10, and 2G memory for Ubuntu.

4. Android developing in Ubuntu

When I'm trying to flash Android device with a image more than 1G, it will eat all the memory of host os. I also believe that copy file to other USB device from guest OS will make this happens.
