By using the script that Compholio provided in comment #22, I noticed that the Rss amount increases by about 20kB every 30 seconds on my machine. After watching it for several minutes, I'm pretty confident that the leak that I am seeing is caused by an event that happens every 30 seconds. 20kB per 30 seconds works out to roughly: 2,400kB every hour, 57,600kB per day, 403,200 kB per week, ~1,728,000 kB per month.
