Ancient habit going back to the days when VMS booted in 750k.  I didn't see
any reason to leave an object lieing around as a field on a long lived
object when it was only going to be used once.  It was a knee jerk bit of
code rather than anything profoundly thought out.  Sorry about that.

One day get Ian or myself to tell you about "Hamish Dewar and the free
memory syscall" over a beer
