This is causing huge memory leaks right now, so it's really critical for us to fix it.
Is this related or the same as the cause of the memory leaks when modifying objects discussed and confirmed in #5830 , but never fixed?
but never fixed?
I asked @dalthviz to open these issues because the memory leaks are caused by several things, not a single one.
Besides, he's going to work on them in the next couple of weeks.
Okay, great! Glad to hear. So is some combination of these the underlying cause of #5830? Should it be closed as a duplicate, then?
It's not a duplicate. That issue made me realize all these problems, so leave it open for now. We'll see what to do about it later.
