Do you use PythonScripts (ZODB-based that is, not Products)? 

We had the same effect as the one you describe and solved it at least
partially by setting every object used inside our PythonScripts to None
before returning from the script. So if you have code along the lines of
"something=context.restrictedTraverse('whatever')" or
"baz=foo.objectValues(bar)" (or anything like that) try setting
"something=baz=None" before the script ends. 

BTW: LeakFinder is a great tool, very useful in my experience and I
deeply regret that it is no longer working with 2.6. Be prepared to
restart your Zope after using it though.
