Memory leaks are just one of those bad luck
things. I was on a site recently that managed
to leak 1.6GB of memory in 4 minutes on 8.1.7.2
on a system that had previously been running for
four months - with no recent code changes. It was
just a new data item appearing that happened to
exercise a previously unused code path.
