Yup.  Quick tests show zero leak.  Thanks a bundle!  I'll have to
update my main project since I relied on the ._servant attribute hack,
but thanks to my limitless faith in encapsulation, there should be
three lines to change in my code, and not three thousand.

  I'm, er, sorry for the ChangeLog file.  I'm just not used to
maintain one (too much CVS is bad for you, I guess).  I'll try to
remember for next time I commit things.

  And since 1. the code is apparently liable to change a bit these
days and 2. I've been working more on ORBit-Python than on Real Work
these days, I'll probably be rather quiet on this front this week or
so (I'll be on the IRC though).  Trust me to come back if I encounter
a bug or another leak, though :-)  That's the problem you'll have,
since my server will have to handle about a million objects and about
a million requests a day, any memory leak is forbidden, so I'll submit
patches and/or bug you until the last leak is dead.

  Speaking of patches, I suggest you close the appropriate patches
from the Sourceforge page, so as not to confuse people who might be
tempted to apply them on the CVS version.

Roland.
