I am finding that FoxTrot Pro 6 gradually consumes more and more memory
(specifically FoxTrot Pro Indexer) unless I do a Force Quit of the Indexer
in Activity Monitor or a reboot. It had reached 22 GB at the time of the
most recent reboot. Is this a known issue? I am using 6.0 build 1688 on
macOS 10.12.5 and an iMac 5K with 24 GB.

You're true indeed: a memory leak has been introduced in version 6, which could affect both FoxTrot Pro / Personal, and FoxTrot's background processes. We will fix this in version 6.0.1 shortly.
Please note you should avoid force-quitting FoxTrot's background process using Activity Monitor, and especially the indexer process, as this could corrupt your index. When possible, stop the index from FoxTrot, or quit FoxTrot, and wait a few minutes if the indexer is busy and does not quit immediately.
Thanks for the report
