Mike, I was able to reproduce this with my ubuntu 8.10, gtkagg backend. I ran the code via cut and paste with the stock python interpreter, not ipython. I did not measure the memory use carefully, but used the system monitor to observe memory for that process climbing, maybe 500k per cycle. Our usual memleak tester shows no problem, however.
