My copy has been running for days (it's up to over 41,000 in ping identifiers, so about 3 days?) and is still at about 10 MB memory usage.
What version of OS X are you on?
OS X 10.9.2.
I let it it grow to 50MB before finally quitting it.
i repeated the experiment and recorded the process size immediately after launch and 3 days later. it doesn't leak as bad as iconping. (process size is the 6th column in the output).

after running for a few days, memory has slowly climbed from just under 10MB to now 30MB. the rate of leakage appears to be very similar to that of iconping [1], so not sure if it's a similar bug in the app, or they both trigger the same bug in the OS.
