Please describe the problem:
Demo code provided creates an incredibly fast memory leak, of about 20 MB/s on
my laptop.  This memory leak is derived from my OLPC snapshot activity, which
is currently unusable because it hits OOM mid-session, due to this leak.

Steps to reproduce:
Run example code.

Actual results:
Fast leak, followed by OOM.

Expected results:
nothing.

Does this happen every time?
Yes, both on OLPC and on Gentoo.
