You might want to consider upgrading to 8.0.8 (see below), and seeing if
the problem still persists.

I notice that there are a number of fixes for memory leaks since 8.0.3 -
8.0.4 and 8.0.8 is where I see 'em specifically (reading release notes
for 8.0.8). So you may be experiencing an issue that is fixed in the
current 8.0 releases! I recommend upgrading to 8.0.8.
You didn't say what your HW was, but if you are on a 32-bit platform,
then a 2.4 kernel when you have >2G ram may leak noticeable amounts of
memory itself...
Cheers
