I've noticed it about 3 weeks ago, when I was dealing with STARTTLS and 
HTTP Connect proxy issues, just few days after aspell support was added 
to Psi. And as one Psi user had reported that (current) Psi does not 
leak memory when he does not use aspell (I don't know whether he had his 
dictionaries removed or the Psi|Options|Advanced|Check spelling option 
turned off), this might lead to an idea that the memory leaks come from 
aspell support code.
