I got the leak again.  I was only away from the machine for 8 hours.

I was able to switch to VT1 and kill firefox and skype, which freed
enough memory that the login prompt would come up, and I was able to
login.

Compiz has been running since 22 Jan and is now up at 3.5 gig (I have
stopped by kvm session that was using the rest of the memory.) So I
could reopen firefox.

The problem is that if running valgrind things are very very slow, so I need to remember to do it the next time I will be away for a few days.
