I made a simple project with nothing but one button and one listbox in a
window.  The button just creates a dump file by calling DebugDumpObjects.  I
compile the project for Mac and run the compiled app.

I click the button to create a dump file and note the number of bytes in the
heap.  I close the window and then choose "New Window" to create a new
instance.  I click the button and create a second dump file.  The number of
bytes in the heap has grown by 71.

In fact, the heap continues to grow by 71 each time I close and open the
window.  If I remove the listbox, the heap size stays the same.  Does that
constitute a leak, or is it something I just don't understand about RB
memory management?
