Comment:
Running top while executing this program shows no memory growth using the
current CVS snapshot as of 20-Jan-2001, 1:34am EST.  RH6.1. Charles, can
you verify?

If it's growing for you, I'll run it through Insure (but I'm currently
Insuring another memory leak, which is why I've only done the top test for
now).
