I have built gnuchessr on an Amiga 3000 using a unix emulation library
(by Markus Wild).  Everything seems functional except one thing...

I've noticed a small memory leak!  I would like to know if anyone has
verified the integrity of the GNU Chess software proper for memory
leaks?

The leak is a consistant 232 bytes.  It is reproduced by:

I would like to know that I'm not chasing a known leak before diving in!
I also realize that it may be outside of the chess code (proper).
