It would only be useful if that bug report included a way to reproduce the problem. And it would probably be helpful to discuss that code example beforehand. I am not saying that there are no memory leaks in GIMP. But we are frequently testing the software for this and I am not aware of any major memory leaks such as the one that Bill describes here. > The memory that is being exhausted, by the way, is the "swap" area > that gimp allocates on the hard disk each time you run it.

Actually, it doesn't do that when space is needed, but when the memory allocated for tiles exceeds the limit configured as 'tile-cache-size'.
