We have identified and fixed the leak, and all is well now. Thanks,  
everyone, for your suggestions.

If you're curious, the problem was fixed by calling undef_method on  
all the dynamically added methods before doing remove_const on the  
class. We also went through each class and removed all  
instance_variables from the class. Doing this seems to have allowed  
the Proc objects to be garbage collected.
