Comment:

 @korli: Roxors! kudos to you. The leak went down dramatically from 100KB
 (in multiple allocs) to 2072 bytes (in one alloc):

 {{{
 src_plugins> LD_PRELOAD=libroot_debug.so ./BMediaFile-leak
 (....)
 total allocations: 824; total bytes: 196008
 total allocations: 826; total bytes: 200152
 total allocations: 827; total bytes: 202224
 total allocations: 828; total bytes: 204296
 total allocations: 829; total bytes: 206368
 total allocations: 830; total bytes: 208440
 total allocations: 831; total bytes: 210512
 total allocations: 832; total bytes: 212584
 total allocations: 833; total bytes: 214656
 }}}

 Leaking 50 times more slowly than before, a station could go on for close
 to a year before even needing an app restart. Bug's 99% fixed and no
 longer urgent in my mind at all.

 @anevilyak: no matter how many times I run the above .cpp from Terminal,
 its {{{new BMediaFile}}} constructor call always allocates the object at
 the same address, as is the embedded mp3 codec (see below); I probably
 misunderstand what ASLR is about though, that would be odd if my simple
 test case had uncovered a kernel problem of any sort. This is with
 hrev46033 retrieved just now.

 Run 1:

 {{{
 src_plugins> LD_PRELOAD=libroot_debug.so ./BMediaFile-leak
 [mp3 @ 0x18092800] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5015510
 ...
 }}}


 Run 2:

 {{{
 src_plugins> LD_PRELOAD=libroot_debug.so ./BMediaFile-leak
 [mp3 @ 0x18092800] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5015510
 ...
 }}}
