I can't help, I just noticed that I might have suffered the same problem. I 
didn't investigate that deeply to pin it on the application-cookbook. But the 
machine concerned has the application-cookbook applied and the others without 
don't suffer mem-leaks.
I think I "solved" it by running chef-client from cron instead of as a 
deamon. 
Gotta see how the machine behaves...

Have fun,

Arnold
