Hi all,

I'm working on a script to replicate it, but using 2.1.2 or more recent 
results in not freeing any memory when parsing multiple documents in 
quick succession.  The changelog says there was a memory issue fixed, so 
perhaps this introduced the bug at the same time?

I've seen (but not consistently) the lxml memory allocation failed: 
growing buffer message.  Normally it just runs my machine out of memory.
