On the memory leak question, there are several increasingly
verbose tools: (*s7* 'memory-usage), then the heap analysis
functions like s7_heap_analyze (in s7.c, all on the
s7_Debugging switch), and valgrind --leak-check=full, see s7.c line 
103062 under s7_free. Be resigned to infinite data
and endless blind alleys.  (The internal s7 heap analysis
stuff is currently undocumented).

The 1989 article was probably the program notes for
"Leviathan" published with the Wergo CD "Computer
Music Currents 3".  I have it as a text file if
you're interested.
