Trying to understand why the code here:

memory.
I need to have timeouts in a program I'm writing that will run an
interactive polling session of some remote resources, and know when to
give up and handle that error. Unfortunately this code dies pretty
quickly and produces an -hc graph like the one attached.
It seems that System.Timeout can't be used for this. I should note that
if the code is changed to use an inifnite timeout (-1) that this problem
doesn't occur. Is this a bug in System.Timeout, or is there something I
should be doing to keep the data size down?
The leak is caused by the Data.Unique library, and coincidentally it was
fixed recently. 6.12.2 will have the fix.

Simon
