I've just cloned the hg repository and built the latest version
(5345).  I had some difficulties building, which I'll mention in a
separate message, but I wasn't able to provoke this bug.  From reading
the bug report, it seems possible that it's hardware or software
dependent.  My system:

  OS:             FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE, i386, 3 GB memory
  X:              X.Org X Server 1.7.7
  Display card:   NVIDIA GPU GeForce 9500 GT (G96) (2, FWIW)
  Display driver: nVidia nvidia-driver-256.53_1

This was with my own images, a collection of 25.  I tried playing
around with the buttons in the fast preview window and kept an eye on
the process memory image with ps, but there's no evidence of any
memory leak.

Anything else I should try?  Until I can reproduce it with tip, there
doesn't seem to be much point to try a binary search.
