Working through the checklist, I am wary of cutting an RC at this particular
moment.  Why is just about a quarter of all the tests coming back as known
fails?  Also, running unit/memleak_hawaii3.py is showing what seems to be a
memory leak (GTKAgg, Python 2.7, Ubuntu, 32-bit) on my system.  The step ups
are about 40-50 KB at about once every 10 seconds.

Anybody else seeing these?
