Title:
  gnetlist does not uses memory efficiently

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  > gnetlist died on me a few times recently and I think
  > it's due to some kind of memory limitatation on my
  > computer combined with a somewhat surprising amount 
  > of memory usage on the part of gnetlist.  According 
  > to the linux "top" command, gnetlist is using 27.2% of

  > completes processing a schematic I'm working on.  
  > If I have another memory-hungry application running,
  ...
  > This isn't a big problem for me because I have a 
  > workaround (close other memory-hungry apps), but it
  > might be a problem for other people.  FYI, there

  Need to examine this in detail and probably cleanup the 
  internal data structure management inside of gnetlist.  
  A complete rewrite is probably less work.
