Description

The attached program leaks the underlying connection (the C proton
object) associated with the BlockingConnection on each loop iteration
on proton 0.9 as used by Satellite. Without the receiver, it cleans
up fine.

On master, the program leaks both the reactor and the connection
associated with the BlockingConnection for each loop. The receiver
creation can be commented out and it still leaks both objects.

Other objects may leak too (presumably session), but I have not
examined further.
