Last time I ran purify over 1.0.n (2 or 3, I forget) I picked up a couple
of minor leaks, but nothing dramatic. Guido plugged most of them, no doubt
the fixes will be in 1.1.

If anyone is seeing memory leaks, and wants to mail me a script, I'm happy
to chuck it through purify and see what it shows up.
