Shoes memory leak ?

[ruby francisoud]

Hi list,

I made a tiny "time bomb" app with Shoes.
But after runnning it for a few hours, the shoes process is eating and
consuming lots of memory until it crash and vanish :(


Shoes.app :height => 100, :width => 350 do
  stack :margin => 10 do
    counter = Counter.new(Time.parse("05/30/2008 17:30"))
    animate(100) do
      clear do
        background black
        stack do
          style = {:align => "center", :stroke => white}
          counter.update
          para "Tic Tac...", style
          label = strong(counter.left) if(counter.time_left > 0)
          label = strong("Boom!") if(counter.time_left <= 0)
          para label, style
        end # stack
      end # clear
    end # animate
  end
end

= Environment:
Windows XP

>ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32]

shoes-0.r396-curious.exe

Any ideas ?

A simplify version (no counter) but still doing memory leaks:
