[armedbear-devel] Memory leak

Since your tests were rather minimal in the code they actually
trigger, I was intrigued. And even though I had other actions planned
for tonight, I looked into the issue: Well, I found it and fixed it in
r13132. The fix is on trunk now and (try3 10) returns a nearly
constant "Used bytes" output upon successive invocations!

Hope this gets you back on track with your app!
