Comment (by warmerdam):

 One approach to testing if it is an OGR problem would be to run ogrinfo
 against a grass dataset under valgrind and examine what leaks show up in a
 leak report, if any.

 Alternatively, writes a small program or script using OGR that repeatedly
 scans over a grass vector dataset and see if the memory of the process
 grows for each iteration.

 It sounds like you are running against trunk of everything, so presumably
 this does represent a real and current leak at some level of the software
 stack.
