Right, the memory leak seems to be fairly unique to his setup.

This is actually pretty easy to avoid in an STB type product.  Since you 
control the hardware, you can just avoid configurations that trigger 
software bugs.  This is one of the reasons console games are less buggy 
than PC games, for example.
