I believe the changes were in the addition of the pjmp-machines.sm and the 
getattr changes.  I tried the src/proto/PINT-le-bytefield.c changes and they 
didn't make any noticable difference.

I basically checked out the cvs Orange-Branch branch and started at a past 
commit that was made around the time of the 2.8.2 release.  I verified that the 
memory leak existed in that commit.  I then worked forward through the commit 
history until the leak was fixed.  It wasn't fixed until those pjmp commits 
went 
in.  So, I can't say that the addition of the pjmp-machines.sm fixed it, but 
that commit did.
