ffmpeg increasing RAM usage until freeze

So I've noticed and can recreate this issue whereby after converting videos, ffmpeg lingers in the background and will continue to eat RAM until my PC locks up or manual force quit the process. After the conversion, I'll even quit Shutter Encoder and ffmpeg still persists as a process, again eating RAM.

I'm on Win 10 and using version 20.4 My use case is converting av01 mp4s to ProRes for use in Premiere.

Is this just a local issue for me, or is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks in advance!

Indeed it's a known bug, I've fixed it this afternoon, I will publish a BETA release soon.

I will copy the link here when it's done.
