xbmc now broken - any help

This problem persists, but I have some more info.

For the past few releases I have had problems with XBMC freezing and requiring a power-cycle just to get out. I think I have identified the problem but have no solution. When I install a brand new image ( last was BH 3.0.1) and look in XBMC menu System/System info it shows "Memory used" at ~22%. After personalising the image and check again memory shows at 35%. The next morning (only overnight egp loading to USB) it shows 50%. Install another cam and it shows 100%. Uninstall the cam - still 100%, and when it shows 100% go to the only installed XBMC addon (Genesis) try to scroll through any menu and it will freeze, the screen will judder, no response to remote, need to power off from the back again!

What exactly is XBMC reporting under "Memory used"?
Anyone any idea where I am leaking this memory?

Answering the obvious first questions /.xbmc is on my hard drive, flash is about 88%, and picons and epg and on the USB.
