I'm not seeing any leak on linux with my standard memory leak test, eg

  unit/memleak_hawaii3.py

in CVS.

Have you read over

  http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#LEAKS

Unfortunately, the standard idiom I use for testing memory usage is
platform specific.

A complete script which exposes the leak would help...
