just to be sure: the memleak _is_ in text2d/3d or is it rather in the
the symbol-table of pd? (you cannot generate an infinite number of
symbols in pd without introducing a memleak; you can't even avoid it as
long as pd has no "string" type and symbols are stored in a hashtable.)

this doesn't mean however, that there is no memleak in text*.
could you send me a small test-patch that exposes this behaviour?
