Memory leak?

I've been using 6.3.5.1 for a week or two, since Gentoo upgraded the
unstable package. I've noticed that offlineimap seems to accumulate
memory on my machine. I measured memory usage using top after a fresh
startup and a single synchronization, after several synchronizations,
and then again after a few hours:
After After Several
1st sync ~5 syncs hours later
VIRT: 1045m 1381m 1637m
RES: 273m 701m 981m
SHR: 4440 4448 4452
Memory usage seems to continue to grow as I leave it running.
Restarting once a day or so keeps memory usage within "reasonable" (<
1GB) limits but is less then ideal...
I've got about 165k messages being synchronized between Google and a
local maildir. My offlineimaprc is included below with the sensitive
bits obfuscated. This was not happening before I upgraded to 6.5.3.1,
or at least memory usage didn't increase so much over the period of a
week or so that I noticed there was a problem.
Any suggestions for how to best debug?
Thanks, Keith
