I love scsh, but I may have a problem with it.
I say this because simply starting scsh in an xterm...
sge:2$ scsh
Welcome to scsh 0.6.2 (Gambit-C 4.0)

...gets me a process that grows relentlessly, 4K at a time. The one
I'm running now has grown over 100K in < 5 minutes without my typing a
single character into the REPL, just let it sit there. Of course this
isn't important for the short-lived scripts I've written so far, but
I'm hoping to use it for some more daemonish things in the future.

Well, scheme48 doesn't grow at all when I leave it alone.
Presumably other people do use scsh for long-running tasks, so maybe
it has something to do with running it on OpenBSD 3.0/3.1. Is anyone
else running it on OpenBSD and if so, does scsh behave this way for
you? Does anyone see leakage on another OS?
Thanks,
Steve
