Bug #45272 Memory leak when connecting and disconnecting from the proxy

Description:
If you make many connections through the proxy port (many as in 152,021). the proxy process will end up using a lot of memory (as in 500MB) and it will keep increasing as the number of new connections come in (and disconnects)

 

How to repeat:
1- Start the Proxy using this lua script
http://forge.mysql.com/tools/tool.php?id=198
and http://forge.mysql.com/tools/tool.php?id=197 for the admin plugin

2- Check the memory usage of the proxy process
3- Connect and disconnect about 200 times
4- Check the memory usage again
5- Repeat 2 and 3 a few times and you will notice the memory going up

Verified fixed on 0.7.1 r 661
Verified fixed on 0.8.0 r 640

A note has been added to the 0.7.1 changelog: 

Due to a memory leak, memory usage for each uniqute connection to the proxy would increase, leading to very high consumption.
