I am not sure.  I have a suspicion that there is no real leak, but
rather we are seeing some artifact of the way Linux' top(1) reports
memory usage.  I cannot prove that --- I can only offer the evidence
that the exact same PG sources running the exact same queries on a
different OS (HPUX) show no memory leak.  It would be useful to hear
some more reports of the test case from people with other OSes.
