Voila!
I have already found the memory leak in the code, and here is the fix (it
was actually no so difficult...):

My time is also very short at the moment. (I also just finished my PhD,
and the Beowulf stuff here is one of the last thing I will do at my old

Perhaps you could at least introduce my patch into the distribution.

Have fun!
