There was a memory leak in the display routines, which was recently
fixed in the CVS branch.  FWIW, obsessively tracking frees and mallocs
doesn't make much sense when you have GC. The nice thing of GC is that
you can stop worrying about having to balance every malloc with
exactly one free, and pass around SCM objects as much as you like,
without headaches about ownership of objects.
