… and then at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59021>, which appears to have
a happy end: these Guix commits deploy the fix:

  072fd1124a gnu: shepherd@0.9: Use 'guile-3.0-latest' to address memory leak.
  7138ba34fa gnu: guile@3.0.8: Add patch to address continuation memory leak.

In my testing it fixes the problem.  It’s now deployed it on
bayfront.guix.gnu.org and we’ll deploy to berlin.guix.gnu.org later on
and see how it goes in the coming days.
