Well, it looks like I can reproduce this behavior (but, so far, not the 
memory leak), on a much simpler setup, no NFS required.  I was copying my 
test area (with several 10GB files) to a really simple GlusterFS (one 
share, no afr, no unify, glusterfsd on the same machine), when I hit the 
disconnect issue (after a few files successfully copied).  This looked 
like an issue with protocol/client and/or protocol/server, but I thought 
it would be a good idea to narrow things down a bit...
