Memory Leak

[Andrew Yates]

Is anyone else experiencing memory leaks with the latest multi-tty CVS
branch? After about 8 days of running it (in X with GTK) it's using
13% of my memory (~400mb). I've heard from someone else that he had
the same problem, but I haven't been able to find anything about a
known memory leak on the mailing list or README. I also had to raise
max-specpdl-size several times, which is probably related.
Can anyone confirm this? Any idea how to fix it?

My multi-tty emacs displays the following message on load:

Warning (initialization): Building Emacs overflowed pure space.
(See the node Pure Storage in the Lisp manual for details.)

From the `elisp' info manual, the explanation sounds like it will cause
memory leaks. Yuckie.

I fixed this in CVS, please try again.n

Now appears fixed in CVS; at least, for me.
