Well, I replyed too fast :). with the patch applied, the problem is almost 
completely gone, but I still see a slight increase in memory usage. My script 
(that has been already posted here) continues to leak a little bit of memory 
(going up from ~ 8000 RES to ~14000 RES printing 32000 pages). 

That may be my setup, tho, since I am using a debian sid system and the patch 
was applied to the debian packages (reportlab version 1.15). I will package 
up for debian the latest CVS source and see if the problem persists.
