Dave,
I take that back - it still might be one from your list. The machine has
Symantec antivirus - it was hidden behind the "Show hidden icons". (Doh, I
am making too many obvious mistakes.) I'm not an admin, so I cannot check
which one - maybe both? The machine doesn't seem to have PC Tool's Sp
Dave,
Nope, this one is called Webroot Spy Sweeper (if it is the problem with it).

I have just tried this on another machine with Cygwin - no leaks. OK, so it
is not Cygwin - my bad, but I'm glad.
Just to test, I have made a script for WIndows' cmd.exe:
@echo off
set c=1
:loop
cmd /c echo > nul
echo %c%
set /a c=%c%+1
if %c%==123456 goto end
goto loop
:end
Leaks... Not so fa
Guys,
Thank you for the trouble of testing this. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm
whether this is a problem with any AV - I am not an admin on the machine in
question, cannot shut AV down.

Manager or some similar program, then you're probably just being misled.
The OS will automatically free the memory from each "echo" process after
it terminates, but it may not always immediately report it as available.
Try executing:
find -exec echo {} \;
Simple command. This one, however, leaks at about 5kB/s. I tried the
following:
find|xargs echo
This one didn't appear to leak, but then I tried this one:
find|xargs -n 1 echo
This also leaked at around the same rate. Then I tried the following:
