While Jan was able to fix some obvious Cocoa issues and crashes,
this is not a Mac OS specific problem. I see the same extensive
non-reclaimed memory growth on Linux in both the X and terminal
client.

No network or gnutls use in any of my Linux and OS X builds.
config options on Linux:
--without-selinux --without-tiff \
--without-sound --without-dbus --without-gconf \
--without-gsettings --without-xft --without-gsettings \
--without-jpeg --without-gif --without-gpm \
--with-x-toolkit=no --without-gnutls"
config options on Mac OS (to force building a 32-bit binary):
CFLAGS=$CFLAGS CC='gcc -arch i386' ./configure --with-ns --without-gnutls
Maybe I should also disable xml2 and png as those might be enabled.

If and only if that usage pattern is at fault, yes. I'll give it a try.
