It may have a bug where it keeps allocating more memory, but still
retains a reference to it. Not a leak in the memprof sense but still a
bug that results in lots of unfortunate memory use. ;-)

Anyway, be sure it's in bugzilla if it appears to be a GTK
bug. Compilable small test case always appreciated, but not required.
