Is CancellationTokenSource.CancelAfter() leaky?

Question

The release of the Async Targeting Pack prompted me to use ILSpy to have a look at what Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) extension methods were provided there (some of

Just try it, push it to the limits and see what happens. I can't get working set to go over 90 MB with ten million timers. System.Threading.Timer is very cheap.

using System;
using System.Threading;

class Program {
    public static int CancelCount;
    static void Main(string[] args) {
        int count = 1000 * 1000 * 10;
        for (int ix = 0; ix < count; ++ix) {
            var token = new CancellationTokenSource();
            token.CancelAfter(500);
        }
        while (CancelCount < count) {
            Thread.Sleep(100);
            Console.WriteLine(CancelCount);
        }
        Console.WriteLine("done");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

static class Extensions {
    public static void CancelAfter(this CancellationTokenSource source, int dueTime) {
        Timer timer = new Timer(delegate(object self) {
            Interlocked.Increment(ref Program.CancelCount);
            ((IDisposable)self).Dispose();
            try {
                source.Cancel();
            }
            catch (ObjectDisposedException) {
            }
        });
        timer.Change(dueTime, -1);
    }
}
