Severe memory leak mythbackend

[andrew.berridge@…]

Not sure what's unique about my system, but... Using Fedora 13, mythbackend 0.23-1.fc13 (r24509), I get a severe memory leak, which renders my system unusable.

It seems to have something to do with the EIT scan. I get this (with verbose all). The Addflags message just continues ad infinitum and the memory usage goes up & up! This is a showstopper for me. I just can't use myth at all...

I have disabled scheduling, housekeeping, autoexpire, jobqueue, upnp to no effect.

There are a few post-release fixes that went in, not sure if any of them are relevant here, but there are updated packages that should land shortly in the rpm fusion repos.
