fwiw I think this bug is indeed Invalid. The size of the heap is the 
responsibility of glibc to manage and it appears (from what I've quickly turned 
up with google) to not aggressively shrink heap sizes.
To show a memory leak you would need to run multiple iterations of the test in 
tabs of the same gnome-terminal process and show that memory usage increases 
each time. if you can run multiple iterations and the overall size remains 
roughly constant then it is not a leak (to the best of my understanding of 
these things, which is admitedly minimal).
