nginx should not have memory leaks. At least I run it on several sites
for months without reconfiguration (so workers may run too long).

This memory may be not used by nginx and free()ed, but libc does not return
the memory to kernel, because free memory may be sparse.

Do you use proxy or fastcgi ?
