Ignore my remark if you want to (I love the kind of wording "We all should
ignore your remark above"), but I confirm that the memory used (reported as
virtual memory used by a process) increases due to memory fragmentation.
After a while the holes in memory slots tend to cease their increase,
because the allocation algorithm manages to reuse them. Look at differences
in Tcl alogrithm and glibc sources to understand the differences.
