I've stuck this in the bug tracker at Sourceforge until someone who can
reproduce it can look at it.  We should probably make more use of that
for little things which might otherwise get forgotten.

A propos of which, there were a few memory leak reports a while
back from Felix in 17514... I tackled a couple but I think there were
others I haven't looked at.
