I've fixed several circular references - you'll need to update both
HTML-FormFu and Catalyst-Controller-HTML-FormFu.

I've also submitted a bug report for 2 circular references in
DateTime::Format::Builder.
If it's a priority, you might want to apply the patch I submitted -
it's attached to the RT queue:
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29034

With both these changes, I've verified that a cat app with a Date
element no longer increases in RAM usage after the first hit.
