Resolution --- DUPLICATE

Comment # 1 on bug 13019 from 
The SSL key log file is loaded into a hashtable for efficient lookups,
otherwise the whole file has to be scanned for every new session which is
rather inefficient.

When you close the capture file, the memory should be released again. The 8MB
chunk size is indeed likely to be a property of the heap allocator.

Workaround: do not create such gigantic keylog files.
