Summary: Memory leak in _tkinter.c/Tkapp_SplitList()
Initial Comment:
Splitlist() function leaks any string given to it as a
parameter.
This code should reproduce the problem:
import Tkinter
b = Tkinter.Button(text='Leak',
command=lambda:b.tk.splitlist('1 2 {3 4} 5 '*10000))
b.pack()
b.mainloop()

Neal, go ahead and back port it. Tim's checking new
features into 2.2.3 on BDFL directive, so this one can't do
much more harm <wink>.
I still don't think we need another release candidate.
There's always 2.2.4 next week. :)

Checked in as Modules/_tkinter.c 1.160.
Assigned to Barry to see if he wants it backported to 2.2.3.
Otherwise, this should be backported to 2.2.4.

Funny, I thought I had posted a patch about this. Could you
test the attached patch which is against the CVS version?
It shouldn't be hard to apply to 2.2.2/2.2.3 either.
