I cannot reproduce it on either coreutils upstream (currently at version 
8.5.118-abd04) or on Maverick coreutils (version 8.5-1ubuntu3). Both report:
==4838== LEAK SUMMARY:
==4838==    definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==4838==    indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==4838==      possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==4838==    still reachable: 34,801 bytes in 91 blocks
==4838==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks

On the other hand, if you can observer free memory going down on a loop
of 'ls', then this is not a bug on coreutils: the lost/unreachable
memory segments would have been freed when 'ls' ended; if these segments
are not being freed, then the problem is outside coreutils.

I do not have a 10.04 system available to test. Could you please attach
the valgrind log here?
