I tried this with dummy data and couldn't see any memory leak, using
Fedora Core 4 and CVS-tip postgres (but there've been no recent changes
in pgcrypto that would affect this).

I suspect you may have a memory leak in Gentoo's implementation of
crypt().  Another possible theory is that it's data-dependent, in which
case you need to show some sample data that triggers it.
