I observed a leak on ipaq using 0.9.4, which I had meant to look at on
x86 but well :)

1 - start with an empty cache
2 - run the game, wait for initial cache build
 -> look at memory consumption
3 - start one campaign until 1st scenario fires
4 - back to main screen
 -> look at memory consumption

and goto 3 any number of time : memory usage keeps growing.
