Node memory leak?
Raw
gistfile1.js
var foo = [];
setInterval(function() {
foo.push(Math.random());
if(foo.length > 200) {
foo = foo.slice(-200);
}
console.log(foo.length);
}, 10);

$ node leak.js > leak.log &
$ top

and watch the memory usage climb. I don't fully understand why, and I don't know if this is a purely node issue...

This is in node v0.4.9

Seems to be fixed in v0.4.11, am testing
