Yes, for the PCB I'm currently working on I lose around 1MB per run of
the autorouter.
I set up the dmalloc library to investigate, but unfortunately just
starting PCB + loading a pcb + loading another pcb + quitting yields
memory leaks from the following sources:

hid/common/actions.c:269'
hid/common/actions.c:46'
hid/common/flags.c:41'
hid/common/flags.c:71'
hid/common/hidinit.c:171'

strflags.c:169'
strflags.c:169'
strflags.c:171'

Unfortunately there are far too many leaks in PCB for any quick solution :(

Yes, I'm working on a fix for these problems.

Great!
