There was a problem with ReadHat 8/9 where you would get a memory leak
unless you set this var:

  export LANG=C

The other thing you could try is the mhe binary.  If that works, then there
is a problem with your version of perl, or one of the modules.

If neither of those work, you can try running 'Start the memory leak
checker' command.   It takes awhile, as it disables one code member at a
timer for a while, to see if the leak goes away.
