Comment(by john_perry):

 One problem may lie in line 259 of mip.pyx:
 {{{
 cdef MixedIntegerLinearProgram p =
 MixedIntegerLinearProgram(solver="GLPK")
 }}}
 but changing this does not resolve the problem. In any case, I'm not sure
 what's the best way to fix this; `p` has to be initialized to
 '''something'''. When I first did it, I initialized `p` by checking
 `isinstance(self._backend,...)`, but that leads to import problems if
 CPLEX or Coin are not installed. That didn't fix the memory leak, so I
 didn't see the point in submitting even a preliminary patch. I could add
 an attribute that would indicate what the backend is, but there's probably
 a better way.
