memory leak

[flavorjones]

from nokogiri-talk mailing list:

require 'rubygems'
require 'nokogiri'

STDOUT.sync = true

loop do
 doc = Nokogiri::HTML('whatever ' * 10000)
 doc = doc.at_css("body")
 doc = doc.dup
 GC.start
 putc "."
end

results in a memory leak under both ruby1.8 and ruby1.9. thanks to Patrik Rak patrik@raxoft.cz for reporting.

reproduced under libxml 2.7.6 and 2.7.7.
