An NZB file to import into Alt.binz which references Usenet articles that are
known to trigger the memory leak

Both Wine v1.1.8 and v1.1.9 rapidly leak memory whilst using Alt.binz to
download certain Usenet articles,  whereas v1.1.7 remains fine.

Using Wine 1.1.7 after 30 minutes downloading:
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
steve    18012 15.5  1.5 3722036 32804 ?       Sl   15:08   5:10 altbinz.exe

Using Wine 1.1.8 after 15 minutes downloading:
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
steve     1277 28.0 25.6 3723204 528200 ?      Rl   14:33   3:17 altbinz.exe
Nearly half a GiB has leaked already.  This seems to be proportional to the
size of articles downloaded/decoded so far in this session.

Eventually Alt.binz will start to display various out-of-memory dialogues and
cease responding.

Whether or not memory is leaked seems to be related to some property of the
articles being downloaded;  I believe it's only Yenc encoded articles that are
affected.  To aid with reproducing this problem I've attached an .NZB file
which will queue articles known to trigger the problem immediately in v1.1.8
but not at all in v1.1.7.
