I am losing memory when I load a disk font.  The first time I can understand,
since the system maintains the font in memory until it is asked to load
another one.  But I lose 456 bytes EVERY time I execute the following
program (opening and closing of libraries deleted for clarity.) Any
ideas?

struct TextAttr fontattr = {"myfont.font",5,FS_NORMAL,FPF_PROPORTIONAL};

 /* open graphics, intuition and diskfont libraries */
 
 /* get disk font */
 myfont = OpenDiskFont(&fontattr);
 
 /* close disk font */
 if (myfont != NULL)
   CloseFont(myfont);

 /* close libraries */
