It's not as 'bzr selftest --no-plugins' confirms.

But there are also a '.bzr.log' and a 'bzr.1'. The former
mentions 
  "bzr arguments: [u'--no-plugins', u'serve', u'--port', u'localhost:0']"
and should be easy to find.

We do, but there are leaks obviously.

The culprit is wrong but I think the diagnosis is sound... Wasn't
there a modification in the smart server recently along these
lines ?
