Memory increased linearly on my machine (os x 10.4), as well as on a  
relatively new install of ubuntu.  On the ubuntu machine, the leak  
was large enough to cause a crash eventually.  I didn't have the  
patience to wait for a crash on my Mac..

I wish I had more information to give.  I'm pretty sure the memory  
leak is really there on my machine (and the ubuntu machine), but I  
guess it is not reproducible across different platforms.  Perhaps the  
problem will simply go away when I upgrade to 10.5.



Other potentially relevant info:

~$ g++ --version
i686-apple-darwin8-g++-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build  
5367)

 >>> numpy.__version__
     '1.0.5.dev4722'

~$ python --version
Python 2.5
