Valgrind found a small string leak in Evolution's composer, which is now fixed upstream. Some larger leaks appear to be coming from the GtkHtml engine or perhaps even deeper (Pango or Fontconfig). It appears to be triggered by calls to pango_itemize().
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
