Yeah, the table on my end is empty as well.  I mean, I'm able to
reproduce it with an empty table...

I've only run it on two machines.  Let me try another machine real
quick...  I've just tried it on another 7.3 machine and and 8.0 machine,
all similar specs to what I mentioned before, but not machines I had
tested before.  They are both exhibiting memory leaks.  Over 1.5 CPU
minutes I see about 15MB of growth (20MB total), with empty tables.

That's kind of what I'm thinking as well.
