Hello,

thank you for following up on this bug report.

We have already packaged the latest version of UH in unstable. The 
current problem is that we ship 2017.1 in Debian Stretch, the stable 
distribution of Debian, and updates should be minimal to comply with 
Debian's rules for stable updates. I'm not sure if we were allowed to 
backport 2017.2 to Stretch because there are other changes which makes 
it hard for our release team to review.

Can you point me to the relevant commits or patches that fix those 
memory leaks? Then I might be able to backport them. If I understand you 
correctly, fife and maybe even fifechan are affected as well? Then we 
need to clone this bug report and address those issues in all packages.

Regards,

Markus
