Does tor still leak memory?

Hi,
I apologize if this question is redundant; I answered many questions by
reading through previous posts. I could have missed the resolution of
this issue.
Earlier this year, tor seemed to leak some memory. Is this still a
known phenomenon? I have the latest stable version, built from source,
Fedora Core 1, x86.
I have 256 MB of RAM on a > 1 GHz Celeron. Resident size about 16 MB,
but virtual size can approach 10 times that within a day and gets over
50 MB within seconds. I'm not a kernel or networking expert, but the
size does give me an uncomfortable feeling. Should I be concerned?
I might *very* ignorantly add that I suspect libevents, simply because
it was written elsewhere. Could be an easy place to hide a leak.
Thanks!
Marc
