One final update on this...  Since I've impugned on zlib's otherwise
sparkling reputation, I feel that I should mention that it turns out
that it *was* PyCairo which was clobbering memory, and not zlib.  The
changes that I had made in how zlib was called was merely changing the
memory allocation scheme sufficiently that PyCairo's leakage was no
longer apparent.

Anyway, there's a fix in PyCairo's CVS now, so all should be well once
the next version gets released.
