Alan, This is odd, because there definitely seems to be a bug in the plplot code path for plotting text. I've just fixed it now. This gave problems for both pngcairo and pscairo for me. This involved leaking quite large amounts of memory, so I suspect this was Florian's problem. On my Ubuntu system I still see a number of small leaks which appear to be cairo / freetype related rather than plplot related. @Alan Can you check my fix on Debian wheezy? @Florian You might want to check the latest svn version of plplot to see if this fixes your problem.
