Summary: memory leak in pyexpat parser

Details: Hi,
I am having a problem with memroy when I am running a python program which
has a code similar to this. 

from xml.dom import minidom

while 1:
  doc = minidom.parse('text.xml')
  print doc
  del doc

The memory size keeps incrementing as the loop is executed.This is the
text.xml file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <Nesim>
    <config>
      <port>50008</port>
      <Sustained-alarm-rate>10</Sustained-alarm-rate>
      <Burst-alarm-rate>10</Burst-alarm-rate>
      <Burst-duration>10</Burst-duration>
      <Burst-frequency>10</Burst-frequency>
    </config>
   </Nesim>

I am trying to delete it manually even then the memory size is increasing.
Please I need some help .

Thanks
kishore
