Experiment I:

This experiment tests my exploratory narrowing of logging code to a
single method in log_line. The codebase is

http://github.com/mojombo/god/tree/b2a50c284036e094e1f751d5745501f8e5d836c3

This is a standard 10000 second test on Ruby 1.8.5 with 8 watches.

14240 (1)
...
13104 (10000)

So the leak is caused somewhere in applog, but only for multiple
watches. Curious indeed. Here is the specific line that causes the
leak (and does not when commented out):
