Do you have a treeview that is internally holding a reference to the list store?

I don't know about the GtkBuilder structures.

Also, g_new uses g_slice internally sometimes, and that will do things
like try to cache pages I think. Be sure to set the G_SLICE
environment variable to always-malloc when monitoring your memory
usage. See [1]
