I've just executed your script in TclTest 8.3.4 and it ran for 3000 
iterations without a problem, the only increase in memory use I could 
detect was due to the console window buffer (total memory use of 
TclTest was 3.1MB after the 3000 iterations)

maybe this bug was fixed with my memory code improvements in 8.3.3 ?

Cheers,

Daniel
