Looks like a memory leak ... the xmlrpc object never being released  
because the url handle was retaining it.  I fixed that in svn.
I never noticed this because I normally create a single GSXMLRPC  
instance and use it repeatedly, rather than creating a new instance  
for each call.

As a workaround until the next release of the library I would  
recommend creating a single xmlrpc instance ... actually I'd  
recommend doing that anyway as it's much, much more efficient, not  
just because it avoids repeated retain/release of the xmlrpc object  
and its ivars, but more importantly because it means that the xmlrpc  
object can keep the connection to the remote server open (assuming  
the remote server supports keepalive, which almost all do) rather  
than opening a new connection for every request.
