I hope the smiley face was omitted accidentally!
The bug report was junked (by the way, we don't junk legitimate bug reports) because the router in question was a 7200 with 32M of memory taking full routing from several peers. It simply didn't haveenough memory. There was no evidence of a memory leak. Needless to say, if there had been a leak, it would have had high priority.
The gent who opened the bug report in the first place was "unfamiliar" with the environment. :-)

Perhaps Cisco is just trying to force us to buy more memory:
ID: 79764 Feature-set: bgp Title: Memory Leak in BGP Router process Reported: 11.1(7) 11.2(2) State: J
There appears to be a Memory Leak in BGP Router Process.
Notice the State. It is J - which stands for Junked - which means they will not fix this since it isn't viewed as an important problem.
