    Description

      I have observed a fairly substantial memory leak using the blocking classes in proton.utils. Mainly with sending messages.

      Observations:

      growth =  52 MB  for  10,000 messages sent
      growth = 104 MB  for  20,000 messages sent
      leak   =  52 MB  per  10,000 sends or ~5 kB / send
      

      The attached reproducer, can be used to collect and display statistics. There is likely a better method for measuring the memory growth but this was easy. Perhaps there is something incorrect/missing with the way I'm using proton or measuring the memory growth/leak?
