memory leak in gnome-cups-icon

After running several hours (or perhaps overnight) the gnome-cups-icon process consumes a tremendous amount of my available RAM. Several times this has lead to the Linux OOM killing various running processes.

I end up -HUPing the gnome-cups-icon process which seems to free the memory and keep everything running.

I'm more than willing to run the process under valgrind or the like to try to generate reports useful for developers, but I'm not sure exactly the best way to go about doing that -- tips are welcome.

Below are details of my system as reported by reportbug (which doesn't really seem to work by the way -- bugs are never seemingly ever received).
