yes

A few weeks ago, someone posted a message concerning a memory leak
when applying DISPLAY HINTs. He also posted a description on how to
fix it.

There are no other _known_ memory leaks, but that does not mean there
are no memory leaks. Try to reduce the problem to a small test case
(just write a script which creates and destroys instances in a loop if
you think that the memory leak is related to this). Once you have a
small script that exposes the problem, send it to me and we will fix
the problem.
