Re: memory usage

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vincent,

I have seen this behavior with the Tk front-end.  My current belief is that
it is a bug in Tkinter (python2.2-tk).  Can you try one of the other UI
modules and see if the problem persists?  (For instance, use -u
Curses.Blinkenlights)

FYI this sort of thing should be a bug report...
