I'd just like to comment that I too am seeing this behavior on R13352.
mythbackend was showing about 1g of RAM after maybe 2 or 3 days of
operation. At this point I started getting problems forking
mythcommflag processes so none of my commercial flagging was working.
Restarting the backend immediately dropped it down to 262m of virtual
RAM. If there is anything I can do to provide additional data or
debugging, please advise.
