Summary: Memory leak in gdk pixbuf

Initial Comment:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# This is an example ruby program that demonstrates a
bug in the gdk
# pixbuf wrapper. 

# Set the IMAGE_FILE constant below to point to some
image file on
# your system.  Then click repeatedly on the Reload
button and watch
# the memory used by the ruby process getting larger
with each click. If
# you have the patience, it will eat up all your memory
and swap
# space. (Caution: Linux may kill unrelated processes
when it runs out
# of memory)
#
# Explicitly invoking the garbage collector does not
solve the problem.
#
# Versions: ruby-gnome2 0.14.0, gtk 2.6.4
#
# Workaround: Use Gdk::Pixbuf::new with 4 arguments (uses
# gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale, but does not allow
to specify
# interpolation strategy)

# Set this to some image file name on your system

IMAGE_FILE = "img.jpg"

require "gtk2"

Gtk.init

window = Gtk::Window.new
hbox = Gtk::HBox.new
button = Gtk::Button.new("Reload")
img_area = Gtk::Image.new

hbox.add(button)
hbox.add(img_area)
window.add(hbox)
window.show_all

button.signal_connect(:clicked) {
    pixbuf = Gdk::Pixbuf.new("img.jpg")
   
img_area.set(pixbuf.scale(740,740,Gdk::Pixbuf::INTERP_BILINEAR))
    # GC.start # introducing GC calls does NOT solve
the problem
}

window.signal_connect(:delete_event) {Gtk.main_quit}

Gtk.main
