Comment (by stichnot):

 Valgrind found a definite leak in Master subtitle code.  This was the
 result of a refactor that is not part of 0.27-fixes.

 I ran valgrind on 0.27-fixes in the following way:


 {{{
 valgrind --log-file=/tmp/srt.log --leak-check=full --error-limit=no
 mythfrontend
 }}}

 There were a couple of one-time leaks related to font loading, but I
 didn't see anything systematic related to subtitles.

 It's possible you're seeing the effect of the image cache warming up.  On
 my system, I noticed that the memory footprint grows for a while and then
 stabilizes after it has grown by ~100MB.  (I can accelerate the growth by
 maximizing subtitle zoom and playing in fast-forward mode.)  Can you check
 whether this is also the case for you?
