For my previous report, I was using:
vm rev 1099
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-portbld-freebsd7.3, GTK+ Version 2.18.7)
 (in -nw mode)

Not sure, but when I used 'emacs -nw big_inbox', then C-x k, C-x C-f
big_inbox, it does not seem to leak (repeated a few times).

That is, when I just use emacs to open / close the file, no leak.

But when I use vm as described before to "open & close" the file, the
2 MB leak per iteration happens.

I also tried with vm 8.1.1 and the same emacs.
It had leaks, too.
