map is lazy and hence has to store a reference to the original
sequence, which is released when realising the map sequence. The loop
builds up a stack of maps which each keeps references in their guts.
So the memory builds up and up and up and *BOOM*. The doall realises
the sequence and hence the reference to the input sequence can be
dropped. It gets GC'd and everything is fine.

Sincerely
Meikel
