ah, I didn't think about your particular application, so the double-queue 
trick was just in case the way you use the container causes it to never 
catch up.

(when i say "leak" i mean just a practical leak, no matter how it happens: 
thus even though you can see and control the dead data in a normal way 
from pd, as long as the memory gets increasingly wasted and nothing is 
done to clean it up, it's still a leak to me, though leak-detectors 
wouldn't find that because they only look for "unrecoverable" leaks. in 
pd, those may only happen because of bugs in externals.)
