Hello!

I believe this patch fixes the problem:

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/commit/?id=f57fdf07d6374028f35bcb1ee748a94022deda6d

Basically ‘force’ was leaking memory because it uses ‘lock-mutex’, which
was the culprit (!).

Julian: Could you please review this patch?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Sure.  That looks alright to me, especially in light of our discussion
on IRC.  Summary: The list of held mutexes is not weak; it's a list of
weak-car pairs.  So if a particular mutex in the list goes away, the
pair's still hanging around.  The patch introduces more explicit
cleanup of that mutex list.  (Thanks for clarifying that!)


Regards,
Julian
