Hi, Chris,
My guess, like yours, was that the garbage management would handle the
problem. But life, like vote counting in Florida, does not always work like
it is supposed to work. So I tested your functions in Windows 98. I opened
the Resource Meter and looped the f function 1 million times continuously
(while I went for some more coffee ;-). No drop in resources was noted
after the initial instantiation (and no dimpled or hanging chads were
found).
This information and 35 cents will hopefully buy you a phone call.
Scott
