[Bug 590] Changed - Memory leak: When running any program under Wine, the memory usage increases in certain instances.

[Robert Yaklin]

I downloaded the Wine source from today's CVS and applied the patch and 
found the memory leak still exists in all tested programs including 
AbiWord. I then downloaded the 20020310 source code and applied the 
patch. This time I found that all the other programs no longer 
exhibited this memory leak. Great job, Andreas, and many thanks!
