You really should subscribe to the devel list, if you're not already. The
forwarding isn't exactly a sustainable solution.

Interesting - I only have one server working in the cluster (the 2nd
server isn't built yet), but I was getting a leak before with this setup
(just one server being up), so something has clearly been fixed.

Are you using any performance translators? IIRC, io-threads and/or
io-cache were known to have leakyness issues.
