That's a good observation. Although a GC implementation is not
required to actually use malloc, so depending on that falls
into "know what you're doing" territory :)
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately it isn't stopping memory
usage growing in the original app. I will try and build a minimal
example. In the meantime perhaps someone can suggest how I might
figure out what is going on. Repeating the same action is giving
memory usage growth as follows. 1.7GB first time (which now drops
to about 1GB), then 2.7GB dropping to about 2GB and so on.
