- Yeah - I'm fairly sure I've seen the memory leak even when no new windows
- are opened. The only time I open a new window is when I use the DOS-73
- coprocessor, which is not very often, and I still find wmgr consuming
- ever more memory the longer it runs. It seems more likely to me that the
- malloc() is done in window switching, whether or not there's a problem
- related to opening new windows.
