I reckon the Python interpreter is a major factor here. I mean there are bug fixes/memory leak fixes in every version release.
Everything that happens goes through Python, and if python doesn't clean up, there is nothing your application can do really. I mean, just look at the release notes for say 2.4.4 http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.4/NEWS.txt and search for the word "leak" for example. It seems from your guys setup that 2.4.4 doesn't leak, but 2.4.3 and under does. One of the fixes in the 2.4.4 change log is "Patch #1488312, Fix memory alignment problem on SPARC in unicode"; There are others about memory. Maybe 2.5 is the better version even?
