Richard,

I've found that this happens extremely fast when using dcop signals/slots.
 I have a simple KApplication that has a dcop slot, and I invoke it from
an external program with a DCOP signal.  I see no memory consumption if
the slot has 0 arguments, but as soon as I'm marshalling data, it seems
that memory consumption grows very fast.  Below is the the valgrind look
at the code that is being consumed.  The number of bytes "lost" continues
to grow the longer the program runs (as opposed to all of the other
warnings valgrind throws which seem to be the same amount no matter how
long the program runs):
