That is, the memory behind 'conn' is leaked if the object was not
connected. This happens, for example, if connecting to the DB fails.
Thanks for the report and the explanation. Fixed upstream.
How severe is it? Should I get it to the Debian package or any plan
for a new release?
Cheers,

Depends on usage. If you use SQLite as a backend, then you'll hardly
ever see failing connection attempts (unless your HD is full, but then
you're in trouble anyway). If you use something like MySQL running on a
remote server with occasional network glitches, lost memory may pile up.
How severe that is depends on how your application is written. If it is
a forking server that dies once it is done with a connection, it
probably won't hurt. If it is a non-forking program running 24/7, it
will matter eventually. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to do a new
release this week. If adding the patch to the package is faster, this is
the way to go.
regards,
Markus
