Here is my system info:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 10.10
Release:10.10
Codename: maverick
Linux nano 2.6.35-25-generic-pae #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 19:01:46 UTC

procps: 1:3.2.8-9ubuntu3
libncurses5: 5.7+20100626-0ubuntu1
libc6: 2.12.1-0ubuntu
I can confirm this. `top` leaks well over 100M in a day for me. The
following valgrind run was for just a minute or two:
==730==
==730== HEAP SUMMARY:
==730== in use at exit: 289,823 bytes in 2,860 blocks
