leaking program

As mentioned on the mailing list, the way GtkTreeSortable.xs wrangles the C callback func to SET_SORT_FUNC() seems to leak memory.  The program attached uses ever more memory.

I suppose the newCONSTSUB using a name based on the pointer addr makes a permanent addition to the symbol table.

Should now be fixed in git master.
