Summary: memory leak when using expr

Initial Comment:
using [expr ...] in a loop appears to cause a constant memory leak. it appears to be allocating stuff in TclLiterla... also fairly (very) slow operation!

tcl 8.5 / windows xp

here is the code i used

#-----------------------------
set numgen 200000
set delta 1
set start_time 1

for {set i 0} {$i < $numgen} {incr i} {

    set time [expr $start_time + ($delta * $i) ]
}
#-----------------------------

memory start small, now it is about 48K and is still running! like i said slow...
