Thanks for the info.

FWIW, I'm running the version that shows "the leak" on others'
machines for the last 10 days without exiting Emacs, and last time I
looked it had a 195MB memory footprint.  So I suspect the leak is
triggered by some specific usage patterns.  Or maybe I'm missing
something important.
