Summary: Memory Leak in Bounce Runner

Initial Comment:
Something is going bady wrong with the BouceRunner  It 
is leaking memory.  After it runs for a short time it has 
consumed hundreds of megabytes of memory.  I kill it 
with -9 and it restarts and is fine for another couple of 
hours.  Sometimes it does not restart and I have to stop 
and restart the mailman service.

This is running on a Linux box with Redhat 9 and postfix 
2.1.1 and mailman 2.1.5 and python 2.2.2

Below you will se a PS from right before I killed the 
process and below that one from a few seconds later.

If you will tell me what you need I would really like to 
get to the bottom of this, I am killing the process like 10 
times per day.  If it eats too much memory before I 
catch it then the entire system fails.

My FreeBSD4.7/Solaris8 installations have no such problems.
How many bounces you get on this system?
