Re: [BUG] Tremendous memory leak

Please test this under different platforms.
On Linux XEmacs increases from 8.9M memory consumption to 28.5M (the
20M increase is probably related to minibuffer printing.) No matter
how many times I repeat the operation with different letters, memory
consumption remains 28.5M with small variations.
So I guess it doesn't leak over here.
