I have a related experience. During Gremlin testing, "Find" was eventually unable to launch the application, complaining that it was out of OwnerIDs. Somehow, I had eaten up the pool of 16 owner ids. These ids are normally reclaimed and reused when the app exits. Still, this problem did not surface until I implemented Find. I may very well have a slowly leaking app, but I've also verified my memory allocations.
