<<SNIP>>

If you seriously think there is a memory leak in mythbackend, please
run valgrind (once again!) and find it.  There are real reasons that
things can grow in memory, and they don't always indicate "eating"
memory or leaking.

Also, reporting on 0.23-fixes after 0.24 has been released... rather pointless.
