[ scratches head... ]  I see absolutely no process growth whatsoever
when running this test program, on either HEAD or 9.0.4.  Backend and
client sizes both steady as a rock, when watching them in "top" on a
Fedora 13 box.

In the past, we've seen leakages that only manifested when you used some
nondefault feature, like a higher level of logging, or conversion to a
different client encoding, or something like that.  Maybe you need to
provide more context about your postgresql.conf settings, locale
environment, etc?
