Here's a copy of the patch i put on this list back in May. It's against svn revision 804. I've been running that version since mid-May.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

You're right that free(sc) does not free much. Woody Douglass<br>
sent me code to free most of s7's memory -- the main thing<br>
is the heap -- but I haven't tackled merging it into my<br>
version of s7 yet. I think s7 instances can be reused --<br>
just keep all your stuff in a sublet of rootlet, then<br>
set it to #f, but it would be better to actually clean up.<br>
