  I am not a functional language implementor, so please pardon my ignorance
about space leaks, but here is something that might be very important. On page
123 of IEEE Software, September 1992, is an article about a product called
Purify for debugging memory management in C and C++. The author of the article
cannot speak highly enough of it. This may be just the thing to eliminate
space leaks forever.
  For more information, it appears you can email to info@pure.com.
