yes.  we have tried to do gc.collect() and look at gc.garbage in our 
application.  this did not help.  the garbage list is always empty, but 
the application core grows from ~8M to more than 150M by one night - 
several Kb per second.

i managed to narrow the problem down to the given example.

i have studied the code of MainLoop, UntwistedReactor, TaskQueue and 
AdaptiveTask, and i must confess that i cannot see any possible leakage 
sources there.  do you have any clues?

just to be sure, i have just added gc.collect() to the doWork() of this 
Test class.  this slowed things down a lot (also leakage is much 
slower), but the memory is still leaking.

best wishes,
alex.
