Yes.  Someone suggested this evening that there may have been a recent
change to do with some IPv6 refcounting which may have caused this
problem.  Is that something you can confirm?

Yep, it would be this change below.  Try backing it out and see
if that makes your leak go away.

Thanks.  I'll try it, but:

1. Looking at the date of the change it seems unlikely.  The recent
   death occurred with 2.6.10-rc2, booted on 29th November and dying
   on 19th January, which obviously predates this cset.
2. It'll take a couple of days to confirm the behaviour of the dst cache.
