Apparently, your application is leaking "HTTPRequest" instances.

Are you storing acquisition wrapped objects in the REQUEST object?
Do not do this! It forms cyclic garbarge that cannot be recycled
by Python's cyclic garbage collector because the special
Zope classes have not yet been made compatible with GC (this
comes with Zope 2.8).
