After investigation, I found the cause of the leaks that cause Sauerbraten to just use up memory and crash if you are using an ATI GPU on Windows 7. Roughly, any and all drawing of lines causes it to leak memory; it boggles the mind.
To workaround the problem, please copy the following file over the "stdshader.cfg" file in the "data" directory that is inside your Sauerbraten install directory:
http://lee.fov120.com/stdshader.cfg
As far as I can see, this works around the issue for me, and hopefully, it should for you guys too.

Unless I am mistaken, this file differs from the latest stdshader.cfg in sauerbraten's svn. Should only people that suffer from the problem use this version?

im not very tech savvy, so when you say to "copy the following file over the "stdshader.cfg" file in the "data" directory that is inside your Sauerbraten install directory:" i have no idea what you mean or how to do it. if you could explain it a little more to me, that would be great.

Just use Justice edition instead and there is no need to do it.
