Hi,
John, if I run your script I found following behaviour of distinct
backends in terms of memory leaks:
QtAgg - ok
Agg - ok
GTKAgg - oh, memory leak
PDF - ok, as you mentionend
Hope it helps, seems it is not a problem of matplotlib?!
Cheers,
Florian
P.S: I use matplotlib svn with following configuration:
