Comment(by olly):

 I rewrote the testcase in C++ and it shows the same behaviour.  However,
 running under valgrind like so:

 {{{
 GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW=1 valgrind --leak-check=yes ./get_data_test tmp.db
 }}}

 reports:

 {{{
 ==12366== All heap blocks were freed -- no leaks are possible
 }}}

 So it's not losing references to this memory.  I wonder if it's due to
 heap fragmentation.
