Comment (by Phyx-):

 Hmm I believe this is not Windows specific, peaking into the heap it seems
 to be all `PAPs` and `closures` so I believe it's a generic GHCi bug,
 where a reference is being held to the previous repl results and so
 preventing GC.

 I'll find some time to take a look at it, thanks for the report!
