Test case showing object is never deleted. (794 bytes, text/plain)

See the attached testcase for an example.

I bind a Glib::RefPtr to a slot and note that the object the RefPtr points to is
never deleted even though the slot and all other references have gone out of scope.

memprof doesn't report this as a leak, which I don't understand, as I see no way
to get to the RefPtr or object.

The fix for bug 152323 seems to have fixed this. We don't see this as a leak
because the ref holder is the object that's leaked.
