Comment (by warner):

 Yeah, that seemed to be the problem. The patch I'm about to fix moves that
 container out into the !FakeClient created fresh for each test case, which
 removes the lingering buildup. With that in place, I see the memory usage
 for {{{--until-failure}}} looping of {{{test_web.Web}}} grow to maybe
 250MB or 300MB and then drop back to 150MB (as GC kicks in). I think that
 closes the leak, although it might be nice to identify why it's still
 using so much RAM (maybe the test files it's uploading are excessively
 large).
