Hi David,

It probably won't fix it, because I didn't do anything that should
effect memory handling, but we'll keep our fingers crossed.  If you
continue to experience problems and have any more information about
the bug, pass it on.

Sorry, I got lazy.  I updated API_CHANGES on the web.  I thought only
the GUI backends were using add_subplot, set_current_axes, etc, and I
ported the changes to all the GUIs.  See my last post
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6207208&forum_id=36187
for more information.

Basically the figure class itself maintains the current axes - the
motivation for the changes is in the post above.  Call fig.add_axes,
fig.add_subplot, fig.gca and fig.sca (set_current_axes).

Hope this helps,
JDH
