I'm not sure whether this is same issue, but I had a very similar problem, just 
I wasn't running out of memory, but out of file handles. It happened whenever I 
left blueproximity running for a while. The funny thing was the handles were 
leaking in plasma-desktop, not in blueproximity itself, so the actual problem 
may be somewhere in between...
Quick workaround: restart plasma-desktop before running out of file handles. If 
I let the handles run out there was only reboot...

But I've also found out, that on my system, the leak was triggered by
blueproximity setting it's tray icon anew every second. I've made a
small change to only update it when status changes, and it seems to be
much better now.
