Looks like you are only setting integers and enumerations. I will
check whether I can reproduce the problem locally. To track down
memory problems, you can compile all the Tcl/Tk stuff with the memory
debugging define enabled. This allow to track where you loose memory,
although this is getting harder to understand with the Tcl_Obj system.

I lost my libsmi code when my notebook was stolen and I have not found
the energy and time to redo this work.
Regarding the 3.0.0 release: I decided some time ago that I will call
the next release 3.0.0 - regardless whether it has all the features I
originally planned for 3.0.0. People are already using 3.0.0 in
production environments and so it seems reasonable to give it an
official status.
