Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

multiload-applet-2 memory usage appears to grow without bounds:

:; uptime
 09:37:18 up 13 days, 20:46,  7 users,  load average: 0.10, 0.27, 0.27
:; ps auxw | grep multiload
bdowning 14684  0.2 23.3 704516 480568 ?       S    Nov28  53:06 
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/multiload-applet-2 
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_MultiLoadApplet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=25
:; kill 14684

(after it restarted)

:; ps auxw | grep multiload
bdowning 10424  2.0  0.4 190940  9876 ?        S    09:35   0:00 
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/multiload-applet-2 
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_MultiLoadApplet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=25

(about 20 minutes later)

:; ps auxw | grep multiload
bdowning 10424  0.3  0.5 191560 10656 ?        S    09:35   0:04 
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/multiload-applet-2 
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_MultiLoadApplet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=25

I did not open the system monitor window after I killed it, the memory
growth happens over time naturally.
