We have fixed memory-leak problems in the past, and I wouldn't be
surprised if some remain, but you'll have to give a lot more detail
about what you're doing if you want help.  A leak that persists across
transaction boundaries is fairly surprising --- I think I can safely
say that there are none in the normal code paths.  I'm guessing you must
be using some off-the-beaten-path feature.
