| My testing showed that with purge_url in the VCL, a 'purge record' was
| created every time the rule was struck, and that record never seemed to be
| removed, which meant that memory grew without bound nearly continuously
| (new memory allocated for each new purge record). See the thread I started
| here:
| http://www.mail-archive.com/varnish-misc@projects.linpro.no/msg02520.html

It gets removed when all the objects in the cache older than the purge
either have expired or have been requested.  If your cache is big, this
can obviously take a while.
