[Bug-openmcl] processes not gc'd?

[Erik Pearson]

Hi,

It looks like the creation of threads leads to a lot of memory 
allocation that is not recovered by the gc. Here is a small test 
function which creates n threads. I've tried it with n of 100, 1000, 
10000, etc. and inspected memory allocation with top, and it just grows 
and grows...

(defun test (n)
   (dotimes (i n)
     (process-run-function ""
        #'(lambda (j) (+ j j)) i)))

I discovered this when doing a test of a web-site-monitoring tool which 
uses threads for timouts, and it eventually crashed.

Erik.
