These are from various emacs instances, some running the emacs-slack package and others just editing elisp code. All inflated to several gigabytes of heap over 1-4 days.
Log files similar to the ones I've been posting in this thread are in the archives. I don't think there's any point of including them here anymore, as they're all about the same.
I've been too busy to modify emacs to print garbage collects, but these still show really long (garbage-collect) calls, often exceeding 15 minutes.
Last thing: I've had one unused (graphical) emacs session running for 16 days now, minimized. It's still at 57MB RSS. I can definitively say that the leak doesn't occur unless emacs is actively used, for all the good that does us.
