Yes, there's a memory leak, you can try 2.6.8.1-mm3
or apply the fix yourself (I think it's this one:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-mm3/broken-out/bio_uncopy_user-mem-leak.patch )

That wont do by itself. It only fixes the memory leak. You _also_ need this patch for audio cds to not be stuffed:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-mm3/broken-out/bio_uncopy_user-mem-leak-fix.patch

Cheers,
