I have a couple of patches fixing things which might seem like memory
leaks.

a) Persistent POST queries is not released until the client connection
terminates. Seen for example from a Java applet showing "realtime" stock
quotes.

b) Some malformed server replies can cause a lot of memory to be used
until the request is completed. Seen for example from a MP3 streaming
server.
