Yes, we definitely have a lot of those, from this entry:

        file("/var/log/syslog/$HOST/$PROGRAM/$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY"
             ...)

Which so far today has resulted in

        [~] $ find /var/log/syslog/ -type f -name `date +%Y.%m.%d` | wc -l
            102

There's more expansions on a bad day when lots of stuff breaks ;)

> Scott, this should fix your memory problems.

I just put it into production; I'll post back in few days (which is
normally plenty of time to see the leak).  Thanks again for all your
help.  I will remove my several-gig debug logs now ;)
