In particular, we would be specifically interested in leaks
that increase over time, during the normal operation of the
agent, or when the configuration is re-read.

There are a number of "initialisation leaks", where resources
are allocated at startup, and not released when the agent shuts
down.   We've tended to be less concerned about those, since the
agent would typically be exiting and hence releasing them anyway.

Of course, patches to fix any leaks would be welcome!
