[bug #13705] possible memory leak in setStringValue

[Fred Kiefer]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #13705 (project gnustep):

As this looks like an important problem I tried hard to reproduce it with a
simple program, but failed to.
A small loop made up of the lines you posted does not produce a memory leak:

int main (int argc, const char *argv[])
{
  int i;
  NSString *speedStr;
  NSTextField         *infoSpeed;
  CREATE_AUTORELEASE_POOL(pool);

  [NSApplication sharedApplication];
  infoSpeed = [[NSTextField alloc] init]; 

  for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
    {
      speedStr = [NSString alloc];
      speedStr = [speedStr initWithFormat:@"%3.2fB/s", i * 0.1234];
      [infoSpeed setStringValue:speedStr];
      [speedStr release];
    }

  RELEASE(pool);
  return 0;
}

Are you using a formatter for the text field? 
It may also be that the leak is in the text rendering mechanism which doesn't
get used by my code.
