Bug Description
libzip-0.9 is affected by a well-known memory leak:
http://
Ubuntu 10.04 is shipped with libzip-0.9 and affected by this leak.
This is especially bad on permanent processes opening and closing archives.
Upgrading 10.04 to libzip-0.9.3 would solve the problem.
(Note that 10.04 package is listed as 0.9-3 BUT the libzip being packaged is libzip-0.9, NOT libzip-0.9.3).

Since the bug is well-known and fixed upstream, I have made a debdiff for a possible SRU. I don't use the package, though, so I can't test without precise test instructions.
