Could there be a memory leak somewhere? What is the best way to debug this? I
looked into the Emacs gc chapter but I didn't see anything that would help.
I suspect there is a memory leak in Emacs, but I don't know anything
about the cause. One possible cause is that some sort of history list
(or something like a history list which isn't officially called that)
is growing and we need to add code to truncate it occasionally. There
could also be an ordinary memory leak involving non-GCable C data.
If you could narrow down which operations increase the size
inordinately, we might be able to find the problem.
