memory leak when upnp is enabled in mythbackend

Description

we've seen reports by some Ubuntu users whose backends would consume lots of memory after running for a few hours. When mythbackend is ran with--noupnp, memory usage stays low. It doesn't matter whether those users have upnp enabled devices on their network or not. For one user (who has some upnp devices), mythbackend will also consume 100% CPU time.

Nico provided some valgrind logs gathered with 

valgrind --leak-check=full --error-limit=no --show-reachable=yes --log-
file=logfile -v -- /usr/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logfile
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile
/var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid | tee backend.log

I can't attach the valgrind log because it is too big. You can get it from Launchpad: ​http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12583122/logfile.21733 The Ubuntu bug report can be found at ​https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/200761

This problem happens with 0.21.
