Is this issue in gtk backend? If so, it's a problem of gtk2hs that String will cause speak leak.
I have send a patch to gtk2hs-devel list that use ByteString read content from huge file. textBufferSetTextWithByteString :: TextBufferClass buffer => buffer -> ByteString -> IO () then use below code read huge file: textBufferSetTextWithByteString textBuffer =<< Data.ByteString.readFile "hugeFile" I hope this will help Yi developer fix this problem. For detail, please ask in gtk2hs-devel list.
