[py-transports] PyMSNt memory comsumption and tracepack form epoll

[Carlos Guzman]

Hi

I've noticed a high memory comsumption from Pymsnt 0.11a (latest stable
release acrding to pymsnt page) the transport starts low but memory
usage grows non-stop currently in 670 MB after 5 days running, the
transport serves 1000 active connections average aprox. With a lot of
activity from users specially connections ans disconnections. Anybody
seen this?, is it a memory leak? Or is it a problem ralated to my
particular configuration?

Also im getting this tracebacks in debug.log

It does not apear to affect pymsnt behavior, is it normal?
