Memory can only ever increase for processes which do memory allocation using brk() - there is no way to return such memory to the OS.

Interesting, but if that was all there is to it, then the apparent
memory usage should stay constant for a while after a server reset (as
the actual memory usage should then be the same as on server startup if
there's no leak), right? I've seen reports that this isn't the case, it
starts growing again immediately.
The fact that it grows doesn't necessarily mean a memleak in the server - only if the growth is unbounded.
