leak using gthreads?

[Steven Dorigotti <steven dorigotti tvblob com>]

Hello,

  Valgrind reports the following "possible" leak while using gthreads  
(tested with glib-2.16.5 and 2.16.6, and I can't see any related  
changes in cvs).
The value of 16,688 bytes reported by valgrind seems to increase  
linearly with programme execution time.

  Is this unexpected behaviour or just a false alarm due to glib's  
memory allocation mechanisms?

Thankyou,
Steven
