Okay, I found the problem. In your test program, you make a call to
g_mime_part_get_content_object(). This returns a ref'd instance of a
GMimeDataWrapper which your test program isn't unref'ing.

After the line "g_object_unref (part_stream);", add "g_object_unref
(wrapper);" and the leak should disappear.
