[Twisted-web] Finding memory leaks in Nevow/Twisted

Hi,

I am using Python 2.5.

I will try to use guppy as suggested in another post to so if it will help.
Otherwise yes, I will try to reduce it to the smallest possible code to
demonstrate the leak. At the moment the code is a bit complex so is hard to
track down.

Thanks for the help.
