[Gluster-users] memory leak in 3.3.1 rebalance?

I started rebalancing my 25x2 distributed-replicate volume two days ago. 
Since then, the memory usage of the rebalance processes has been 
steadily climbing by 1-2 megabytes per minute. Following 
http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/High_Memory_Usage, 
I tried "echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". This had no effect on the 
processes' memory usage. Some of the servers are already eating >10G of 
memory. At this rate, I will have to cancel this rebalance, even though 
brick usage is heavily skewed right now (most bricks are at 87% 
capacity, but recently added ones are at 18-28%).

Any ideas what might be causing this? The only references to rebalance 
memory leaks I could find were related to 3.2.x, not 3.3.1.

The majority of these bricks are ext4, except for the latest 7 which are 
xfs. Each is backed by a 2T hard drive.
