OK, thanks.   It's a memory leak.

Could you please send me a detailed description of how to
set about reproducing this?

When you say "I ran contest for a few days till I recreated the problem
and it did recur.", does this imply that the leak was really slowly
increasing, or does it imply that everything was fine for a few days
uptime and then it sudddenly leaked a large amount of memory?
