Public bug reported:

I just wanted a simple proxy, so I ran
tcpwatch-httpproxy -p 10.0.0.19:8080 -s > /dev/null

(On a machine that also has a real IP)

Then I started some downloads running from another computer, and later
noticed tcpwatch-httpproxy was using 1.6GB of RAM.  That might be the
full amount of data I transfered through it, with http.

ps aux | grep tcpwatch-http
peter    24578  2.6 42.2 1749872 1711508 pts/1 S+   06:59  17:37 python 
/usr/bin/tcpwatch-httpproxy -p 10.0.0.19:8080 -s

I later found tinyproxy, and plan to use that in future, since it's
better suited for the task.
