OK, well deinit/reinit could happen several thousand times during a long 
(I am talking about days or weeks) run of LiVES. Don't forget this is 
not just a VJ app, people use this application to edit professional 
video. If LiVES crashes, people could lose hours or days of work. Even 
more so when I add the multitrack editor and people can make generators 
into tracks.

Anyway, I am confident that you will have all these memory issues fixed 
soon.
