Memory leaks observed when profiling WPF applications

When profiling some applications based on the Windows Presentation Framework (involving controls with collapsed visibility), the private bytes count may increase continually and never decrease.

This is caused a known bug in WPF for which Microsoft has released a hotfix. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 967328. You can find a full description of the issue on Ramon de Klein's blog.
