 Hi there.

 I recently upgraded to revision 20491 and started listening to my favorite
 radio show that I record each day.

 After about 20 minutes my box ground to a halt.

 I did some digging, and noticed memory growing a few megs each minute.

 With a debug build and valgrind, I have produced 2 logs:

 The first (valgrind-mythfrontend-20491M-start-and-quit.log) shows a small
 memory leak during initialisation - probably not significant. All I did
 was start mythfrontend and then quit again.

 The second, more interesting log (valgrind-mythfrontend-20491M-radio-
 playback.log), is where I played back my radio show. It shows lots of
 leaks when dealing with MHI and OSD data. I only played around 20 seconds
 under valgrind, but it shows around 50MB leaked in total.

 Am happy to do more testing etc. if required.
