[framework] Memory leaks in msf3

The db_autopwn code needs to be modified to only process a specific number 
of exploit modules at once. Right now, it fires off everything at the 
same time until the list is empty, resulting in the memory use you are 
seeing. This code will be updated (soon) to have a psuedo-scheduler and a 
max concurrent exploit option. Thanks for the report!
