I observed memory leaks on long terme usage. My favourite test case 
is building NetBSD on a replicated/distributed volume, and I can see
processes growing a lot during the build. I reported it some time ago, 
and some leaks were plugged, but obviosuly some remain.

valgrind was never ported to NetBSD, hence I lack investigative tools, 
but I bet the leaks exist on FreeBSD and Linux as well.
