[DGD] Pathological memory allocation?

[Raymond Jennings]

I'm running an unusual setup, with loads of string and array
operations and dmemsize is reaching up into a full G with only about
40 M actually in use.

Even more interesting, is that dmemsize keeps climbing by the megabyte
yet actual usage stays fairly low.

Is this a weak spot in DGD?

It seems a little unusual.  On an individual basis, the actual
allocations are mostly for strings of at most a few K in bytes.

I could send in the mudlib that's responsible for this behavior if you
want to take a look.
