+Summary: FileSystemWatcher RaiseEvent Causes Huge Heap
+
+I created a boo script to watch a directory, then made 10K files and
+subdirectories in it.  The system monitor reported that the writable memory
+for the script's process grew to about 1GB.  I ran heap-buddy on it to see
+what the problem was.
+
+System.MonoType had 3281.7M total worth of allocations from
+System.IO.FileSystemWatcher:RaiseEvent, and
+System.Runtime.Remoti...ing.MonoMethodMessage had 867.9M from the same.
+
+Here is my boo script:
+
+import System
+import System.IO
+import Gtk from "gtk-sharp"
+
+def OnEvent(sender as object, e as System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs):
+    print "${DateTime.Now} :: ${e.ChangeType} :: ${e.Name}"
+
+fsw = FileSystemWatcher("/home/gabe/newtmp/")
+fsw.IncludeSubdirectories = true
+fsw.Created += OnEvent
+fsw.Changed += OnEvent
+fsw.Deleted += OnEvent
+fsw.Renamed += OnEvent
+fsw.EnableRaisingEvents = true
+
+print "Running"
+
+Application.Init()
+Application.Run()
