I think I tracked it down to a bug in OpenSSL 0.9.7. It doesn't clean up
the EVP_CIPHER_CTX structure like it should according to the manual
page. Adding the following line after calls to EVP_EncryptFinal() and
EVP_DecryptFinal() in net_packet.c should stop the memory leak:

EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(&ctx);

Please try this and let me know if this works for you (who experience
the problem) too.
