Comment(by AntiCat):

 I have currently  a spare Core2Duo machine. I made a test setup for mythtv
 with valgrind.
 The System is setup using '''mythubuntu 8.10''' with latest weekly build
 of mythtv.

 MythTV Version   : 19626
 MythTV Branch    : branches/release-0-21-fixes
 Library API      : 0.21.20080304-1
 Network Protocol : 40
 Options compiled in: linux profile using_oss using_alsa using_arts
 using_jack using_backend
 using_dbox2 using_dvb using_firewire using_frontend using_hdhomerun
 using_iptv using_ivtv
 using_joystick_menu using_libfftw3 using_lirc using_opengl_vsync
 using_opengl_video using_v4l
 using_x11 using_xrandr using_xv using_xvmc  using_xvmcw using_xvmc_vld
 using_glx_proc_addr_arb
 using_bindings_perl using_bindings_python using_opengl
 using_ffmpeg_threads using_libavc_5_3
 using_live

 I still have the usual memory growth of about 100MB per Hour. I did a
 [attachment:valgrind3-1h.log.gz?format=raw 1hour] recording and a
 [attachment:valgrind3-5min.log.gz?format=raw  5minute] recording, both
 with valgrind running.
 As it is a test setup without any personal data on the machine I offer to
 put the machine into a dedicated subnet accessible from the internet and
 pass the login to a developer if it helps to figure out the source for the
 memory growth.
