Derek,

the gvfs-http leak you mention is not fixed by this SRU but it has been fixed upstream already so it will be fixed in jaunty for sure. The patch that fixes the gvfs-http memory leak is available here:

Indeed you can use the same repro steps as on this bug to trigger the leak. If you download 20 podcasts of 2MB each you're likely to see 40MB leaked memory in the gvfs-http process (check VIRT/RES columns in "top" for example).
