Hi Fredrik!
Nice to see more and more swedes using plib! (I think there's at least th=

I think I fixed this a while ago...looks like it should work, and a quick=

test shows it appears to work too.

Interesting and annoying. Should we just refuse to load too large models?

I don't think it should be deleted. It's just a pointer to a node, and th=

node is a part of the model that is loaded, and thus should not be delete=

But I could be missing some fine details of my own code. Feel free to com=

further if you have any examples of when current_branch causes leaks.
