Ok, this actually make sense, as the -dirvtable creates a lookup table for
faster dynamic dispatches during runtime. This table is probably not deleted.
It is created the fist time a director method is called, and explains why the
code did not leak when the call to eval was out commented, as it was never
created. It also explains why the code did not leak when the expression were
created only once.
I can try to see if I can produce a minimal example that I can attach to a bug
report upstream to SWIG.
