I'm using guile in a program intended to run continuously for years.
I'm observing that the freestore is growing without bound. What can I
do to discover the cause for this?
I've determined that alloc_some_heap is being called every few hours
to add about 300K of space to the freestore. I'm not sure that the
allocations in the freestore are growing. My vmsize is getting larger
as is the size of the working set.

Hi Marc,
For this kind of problem, you will almost certainly need either to
share your program with us, or - if you can't do that - find a way to
reproduce the problem with a simplified program that you can share.
Regards,
Neil

Let me see what I can do. It is probably possible for me to do this.
I'm still looking for proof that there is a problem. This means that
I'm looking for some kind of incriminating detail. At the moment, all
I can be sure of is that the virtual memory space for my application
is growing and that there are several freestore regions allocated.
