	Yeah, apparently this is a FAQ of sorts.  (whoops).  I didn't
look hard enough through the mailing list archive. :-(

	I enabled memory profiling, recompiled, reinstalled glib and then
called g_mem_profile() and it outputted how much memory is in use and that
number agrees with what ccmalloc thinks "leaked".  So now I have a way of
watching what glib is using and what my programs are leaking. :)

	Thanks for the info.  Most enlightening. :-)
