1772	importing the same module over and over eats up more and more memory	sjamaan		"Reported by ""plugd"" on IRC:

{{{
(import (chicken string)
        (chicken gc)
        (chicken io))

(let loop ()
  (print (conc ""Memory statistics: "" (memory-statistics)))
  (eval '(begin (import (chicken string)) (print ""Hello."")))
  (read-line)
  (loop))
}}}

I checked, and CHICKEN 4 also exhibits this behaviour, so it's not something new we recently introduced (as I remember we've been putting some effort into optimizing library imports)"	defect	closed	major	5.3	unknown	5.2.0	fixed			hard
