I am currently running Adrian's 64 bit build on linux mint 17.2 x64 and
am noticing what I can only assume is a memory leak over time. I just
had to restart SM when my system usage showed it using 1.7GB of memory!
After restarting it now reports 725MB used, so this is quite an improvement.
I tend to avoid restarts until necessary as I keep multiple tabs open
and some of them require me to login again after a restart. Perhaps it
would be possible to do a "softer" restart of some sort at some point
and avoid this?
I know that security issues are primary, but can memory leaks be looked
into at some point? If they can't be addressed easily, as they might be
specific to particular builds as opposed to general, then perhaps at
least it might be possible to implement some sort of a "restart" option
that would avoid the problems associated with a complete shutdown/launch
cycle imposes?

No 2.49 available for Mint? It's in the Linux directory. I did see
memory leakage with 2.49 myself so it may not hold much hope for you
on Linux. I'm on 2.50 (Winx64) myself but it's crashy as heck but no
leakage that I can see like with the older versions.
I am only running Adrian's build while waiting for an official release
via Ubuntuzilla. I finally installed Adrian's when there was warnings
about the out of date 2.26 requiring immediate action. I had to install
Adrian's build by hand, so it was only the urgency that lead me to do
so. At this point I am unaware of any sufficiently urgent issues for me
to do so again. I am receiving notices about 2.49 now, but once again
it would be a manual update.
