I suppose Benjamin is too busy lately.

I suspect there maybe some relationship between clipboard operation
and the memory leak but I don't have conclusive evidence.  Funny thing
is I haven't seen the same clipboard problem recently, I don't
remember when I saw it last time.  I may have changed my pattern of
clipboard usage.  I don't know.

My point is since I've been using Benjamin's patch for a couple of
month and haven't experienced any catastrophic problem I think it is
worth putting his patch into CVS so that more eyes can hunt for the
potentially hidden bug before the next release.
