Hi Ken!

I think dbox 0.5.0 and 0.6.3 each introduced a memory leak. I wrote a test script to demonstrate, which repeatedly pushes and pulls and prints its memory use.

dbox 0.4.4: memory use grows very slowly, then appears to stop growing.
dbox 0.5.0: memory use grows fast, then slows down but doesn't appear to stop growing.
dbox 0.6.3: memory use grows much faster, but sometimes drops considerably, and may or may not be bounded.

Here's the test script:
