Yes, my directory authorities are using way too much ram too. It appears
that we introduced something bad in 0.1.2.x that wasn't present in
0.1.1.x.

I'm tracking it down; do feel free to help :). Current progress is that
I'm pretty sure it's not a memory leak -- something is actually using
this memory.
