I am also see the same memory leak issue but because my machine is no 
where's near powerful enough to valgrind I cannot provide any useful 
feedback myself. For me, the fix so far has been several scripts 
monitoring myth and rebooting, resetting and cleaning up as needed. Not 
100% but its much better now. A real fix would be nice.
