Thanks Nor and Al,

based on your help I filed a bug now:

If the text buffer grows without me clearing it, then that would be normal. But subjectively I expect that by 
clearing the buffer its tag table should be cleared as well, which doesn't happen. That's why I clear the tag 
table manually. I've had a brief discussion about it on the GTK mailing list.

It appears to be known in some way, so I'm not too sure if that's yet another/unrelated leakage.


Thanks again to both of you.

Best,
