I haven't looked properly yet, but it looks like something is leaking
memory that shouldn't be. The attached Gloom.hs uses constant memory,
but if you replace the "map" with the commented out "(parMap rnf)" then
the memory use seems to keep increasing, even once it has run display
once and is running it a second or third time.


Thanks
Ian
