Without doing a DOS on Google it still leaks:

An other memory leak with socket hang up

I am actually playing on the branch https://github.com/joyent/node/tree/http-memleak

Without setTimeout it works like a charm,

node --expose-gc gistfile1.js
webkit-devtools-agent started on 0.0.0.0:1337
We should do 18 requests
3MB used
Done: 0/18, not yet GC: 0

http.get + req.on('error', function(){}) seems to provoke a memory leak:

node --expose-gc leak.js
We should do 5 requests
2MB used
Done: 0/5, not yet GC: 0
26MB used
Done: 5/5, not yet GC: 5
all requests done, memory should be collected by now ?

26MB used
