Comment:

 I do see the process size growing in Windows, but not Linux.  It still
 happens with the HEAD.  However, I've verified that the leak is not in
 GHC's heap (the heap size is a constant 1MB), nor is it from calls to
 `malloc()`.  So as far as I can tell, this must be happening in the
 Windows networking layer somewhere, hence I don't think there's anything
 we can do.
