Sorry, it was late :-) The GList and GSList hold their own free-list
in the GListAllocator struct. They donīt rely on the
g_mem_chunck_free algorithm. But never the less, the memory for these
list entries is never freed. So the memory allocated for list
structures must increase up to the biggest number of simultaniosly
allocated list entries.
