I've found a memory leak in GUILE.
The contents of modules are not garbage collected.
I believe this is fixed in CVS HEAD now in the 'proper' way:

The fix consists of storing procedure properties in a weak key
hashtable (as you did), and fixing weak hashtables so that cycles from
the value back to the key get properly collected.
Thanks!
I think this change is a too large to go into 1.6, tho. Is there a
workaround that you could put into your code, such as
(set-procedure-property! (module-eval-closure M) 'module #f)
in an appropriate place?
Yes, I've already done that. Any idea of when we will see this in a
release?
