Interesting.  I am running (obviously) on Windows and I also have a 
Linux box, both on patch 111, and both leaking.  It isn't a quick leak, 
if you run for an a while it might show up.  How long did you let it go?

If you don't ever see anything leaking, I wonder what could be different 
in our setup or builds.

I certainly don't see anything in there that looks like a memory leak, 
but it certainly grows over time on my boxes.  Very difficult problem.
