Just FYI, this isn't the only problem of this kind. For example the
changelog plugin, despite trying to conserve memory by only storing
changelog times, has the same effect of keeping headers of all to-be
updated packages loaded in memory.
Dunno yet what to do about it though...
Oh and BTW, kudos to David Malcolm for this gdb-heap analysis from last
