1465,Parrot GC leaks memory for basic programs,pmichaud,dukeleto,"In Rakudo we've noticed that long-running programs seem to be leaking memory in 2.1.0 and later, and have tracked it down to some simple programs that demonstrate the leak.  The simplest version is

{{{
.sub 'main'
  loop:
    $P0 = box 0
    goto loop
.end
}}}

This appears to consume memory without bound until it is terminated.  The leak appears both in the 2.1.0 release and in current trunk (r44134).  Notably, 2.0.0 doesn't appear to have a leak.
