[mythtv] Memory leaks in SVN

I will try turning off EIT and recompiling, but Ivor suggested that 
wasn't causing the leak he was seeing for example

The major leak I am seeing occurs without any skipping going on.  It's 
just plain viewing a recording which sees the memory usage steadily 
climbing.  Quiting the recording doesn't reclaim the memory, but 
restarting the frontend does.

I guess I need to try and get valgrind going, but the output is rarely 
that easy to interpret...
