Comment(by olly):

 I don't seem to have a totally suitable test database to hand as I just
 get a single line of output for any of the ones I've tried, but if I
 modify the code to report every 100 documents I see the memory usage grow
 a little.

 But valgrind seems to show we aren't actually leaking memory so I suspect
 we're just holding on to more and it'll get released eventually.  The
 apparently linear growth is bad though.

 I notice if I remove the .get_data() part, leaving just match.document,
 then I still see the memory growth, so I guess this is down to the
 !MSetItem object in the bindings.

 Adding Python gc.collect() calls doesn't seem to help.

 Richard: Any ideas?
