[mono-android] Simple project with massive memory leak

[SRI]

Hi Jack,

       Please read this Issue
http://forums.silverlight.net/t/12237.aspx/1 on your Memory Leak and
other issues with WebClient.

       May be you have to call  WebClient.CancelAsync() as discussed
in the above article.

       I am not an Expert on MonoDroid, but when I looked at your
code, the first thing I did was google to find out whether WebClient
leaks memory and found many issues with it.

       These issues are not related to MonoDroid, since they are using
the same mono libraries which are the same functionally from .NET.

       Hope this helps. Please share your findings about how you
solved this issue.

Best Regards,
Sridharan Srinivasan
